摘要

Surface roughness (Ra) significantly impacts the quality and performance of machined components, particularly in aluminum alloys. This work investigates how machine learning (ML) can predict Ra. A user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed that takes into account cutting conditions, like cutting speed (Vc), feed rate (f), depth of cut (ap), and mechanical properties (tensile strength, hardness, etc.). Data was harvested from published research to construct a database including diverse aluminum alloy grades (5XXX–7XXX). Several ML algorithms were employed to analyze the data and generate predictive models. Based on user input, the GUI displays predicted Ra and estimated material removal rate (MR). Statistical metrics (RMSE, MAE, and R2) confirm the model's accuracy. Additionally, the GUI highlights the relative importance of each input variable, providing valuable insights into the milling process. For industries using aluminum alloys, this research offers practical value through a GUI that empowers manufacturers to (1) achieve desired Ra consistently and (2) gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between cutting conditions, mechanical properties, and surface finish.
