Abstract
For process parameter optimization in high-speed dry hobbing, an optimization decision method is proposed in this study based on the multi-objective whale optimization algorithm (MOWOA). Firstly, according to the characteristics of high-speed dry hobbing, the processing time and processing error models are constructed; considering the carbon quota energy conservation and environmental protection policy, the processing cost model is established. Founded on the above models, the fitness function of the multi-objective optimization model is proposed. Afterward, on the basis of the traditional single-objective whale algorithm, the non-dominant set and crowding calculation method is introduced to establish a multi-objective optimization whale algorithm model. On this basis, the Pareto solution set is obtained. Finally, the actual decision case is compared to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, the optimization data of MOWOA and several commonly multi-objective algorithms are compared to analyze the characteristics of the optimization solution set, thus verifying the superiority of the process parameter optimization method based on MOWOA.
