Temperature Experiment and Parameter Optimization of Cemented Carbide Tool in Milling 508III Steel

In machining 508III steel, the cemented carbide tool is subjected to a strong periodic thermal load impact, leading to serious tool-chip adhesion and shortening the tool life. Considering the influence of cutting parameters on temperature, temperature experiments and finite element (FE) simulations were carried out based on Box-Behnken experimental design criteria in the response surface method (RSM). Based on the experimental results, A second-order polynomial regression prediction model for temperature was constructed as the optimization objective function based on RSM. A temperature prediction model based on GA-SVM was established to predict temperature change. Taking cutting temperature and efficiency as evaluation indicators, the elitist nondominated sorting genetic algorithm was used to optimize cutting parameters. These findings may be important for the tool life improvement and reasonable parameter selection.
