Abstract

The literature reports many scientific works on the use of artificial intelligence techniques such as neural networks or fuzzy logic to predict surface roughness. This article aims at introducing Bayesian network-based classifiers to predict surface roughness (Ra) in high-speed machining. These models are appropriate as prediction techniques because the non-linearity of the machining process demands robust and reliable algorithms to deal with all the invisible trends present when a work piece is machining. The experimental test obtained from a high-speed milling contouring process analysed the indicator of goodness using the Naive Bayes and the Tree-Augmented Network algorithms. Up to 81.2% accuracy was achieved in the Ra classification results. Therefore, we envisage that Bayesian network-based classifiers may become a powerful and flexible tool in high-speed machining.
