Abstract
In modern manufacturing, optimization algorithms have become a key tool for improving the efficiency and quality of machining technology. As computing technology advances and artificial intelligence evolves, these algorithms are assuming an increasingly vital role in the parameter optimization of machining processes. Currently, the development of the response surface method, genetic algorithm, Taguchi method, and particle swarm optimization algorithm is relatively mature, and their applications in process parameter optimization are quite extensive. They are increasingly used as optimization objectives for surface roughness, subsurface damage, cutting forces, and mechanical properties, both for machining and special machining. This article provides a systematic review of the application and developmental trends of optimization algorithms within the realm of practical engineering production. It delves into the classification, definition, and current state of research concerning process parameter optimization algorithms in engineering manufacturing processes, both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, it offers a detailed exploration of the specific applications of these optimization algorithms in real-world scenarios. The evolution of optimization algorithms is geared towards bolstering the competitiveness of the future manufacturing industry and fostering the advancement of manufacturing technology towards greater efficiency, sustainability, and customization.
