Multi-objective optimization of chip breaker groove geometry for turning inserts and investigation of cutting performance based on an integrated FEM–RSM–HGA framework
摘要
The geometric parameters of chip breaker grooves exhibit complex nonlinear coupling effects on both chip breaking performance and cutting force, rendering single-objective optimization inadequate for achieving an optimal engineering compromise. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization methodology for the chip breaker groove geometry of turning inserts through the systematic integration of finite element simulation, response surface modeling, and a hybrid intelligent algorithm. Taking cemented carbide inserts for turning SUS304 stainless steel as the investigation object, a three-dimensional finite element model of the cutting process is first established. Based on the complementary sensitivities of chip breaking performance and cutting force, three representative groove parameters were selected. Their nonlinear and interaction effects were then quantified using central composite design and response surface methodology, yielding second-order regression models for
