A Retrospective on Literature Review of Milling Parameter Optimization using Non-Traditional Optimization Methods

Abstract

In current trend, it is known fact that cutting conditions of material such as feed, speed and depth of cut plays an important role in the industrial sector for manufacturing process. In this critical review, it has made an attempt to identify key issues addressed by the various researchers on machining parameter optimization of milling operations. This paper highlights the unconventional optimization approaches for optimizing the cutting parameters in milling operations. Refer to the review; the limitations, advantages, and applications of each technique which is classified as an unconventional approach is observed. By reviewing it is understood that each method has its own features that perform effectively and not related to certain optimization problems. Lastly, the authors concluded about various features of non-traditional optimization methods and their applications in an effective manner and also discussed about further scope of new methods in the area of milling machine parameter optimization.
