Abstract:The construction of the prediction model of light alloy turning surface morphology is of great significance for the optimization of turning parameters and the improvement of part surface quality. Based on the mechanism of cylindrical turning, the simulation model of workpiece surface topography is established considering the influence of tool geometry, machine vibration and cutting elastoplastic deformation.Cutting experiments were conducted to verify and compare the surface morphology obtained from simulation and experiments.The trend of peak height variation tended to be consistent under different cutting parameters;Three-dimensional surface roughness arithmetic mean height Sa and root mean square height Sq are used to characterize the surface topography. The average relative error of Sa is 3.95% and the average relative error of Sq is 8.34%,,indicating that the model is accurate and has good prediction effect, and can reflect the surface quality of the workpiece.Finally, with cutting efficiency and surface roughness as optimization objectives,the cutting parameters were optimized using Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and the non-dominated solution set of cutting parameters was obtained for reference by decision makers.
