Abstract

Brass and brass alloys are widely employed industrial materials because of their excellent characteristics such as high corrosion resistance, non-magnetism, and good machinability. Surface quality plays a very important role in the performance of milled products, as good surface quality can significantly improve fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, or creep life. Surface roughness (Ra) is one of the most important factors for evaluating surface quality during the finishing process. The quality of surface affects the functional characteristics of the workpiece, including fatigue, corrosion, fracture resistance, and surface friction. Furthermore, surface roughness is among the most critical constraints in cutting parameter selection in manufacturing process planning. In this paper, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used to predict the surface roughness in computer numerical control (CNC) end milling. Spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were the predictor variables. Experimental validation runs were conducted to validate the ANFIS model. The predicted surface roughness was compared with measured data, and the maximum prediction error for surface roughness was 6.25 %, while the average prediction error was 2.75 %.
