摘要

The Silicon carbide (SiC) particles with different sizes (30, 60, and 90 μm) reinforced Al 1200 alloy composites offer enhanced properties (hardness, density, and strength) suitable for engineering applications. The finer (30 μm) SiC particles exhibit better physical and mechanical properties, as validated by microstructural analysis. SiC particles pose machining difficulties, including cutting resistance, increased surface roughness (SR), and tool wear. Optimizing the machining parameters (reinforcement size: RS, cutting speed: CS, feed rate: FR, and depth of cut: DOC) to improve machining quality characteristics (material removal rate: MRR, SR, and chip thickness ratio: CTR) is of industrial relevance. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) analysis confirms that all individual factors are statistically significant (FR > CS > DOC > RS) and exhibit a nonlinear effect on MRR, SR, and CTR. The significance of cutting variables (CS, DOC, and FR) interactions confirms their primary importance, rather than microstructure variation with RS. The highest coefficient of determination, 0.9896, 0.9603, and 0.9817, are established for CTR-MRR, SR-CTR, and SR-MRR, confirming their strongly dependent nonlinear relationships. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) reduce prediction error to 4.01%, compared with 4.7% for the BBD model, across three responses across ten random experimental cases, resulting in a 14.7% improvement in prediction accuracy. Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) integrated desirability function approach (GWO-DFA) recommends optimized conditions, confirming higher MRR (401.4 mm3/s), lower SR of 3.32 μm (validated by 3D and 2D surface profiles), and a nominal CTR of 0.678, with a reduced prediction error of less than 5%. The proposed systematic framework ensures industry-ready model deployment for widespread engineering applications.
