Cover Story: This study aims to examine cutting speed, feed rate, and the depth of cut effects on the main cutting force Fz (N) and mean surface roughness Ra (μm) in the CNC turning of 60CrMoV18-5 steel. A response surface experiment based on the central composite design was used with three levels for cutting speed Vc, feed rate f and depth of cut α (mm). The results were analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the use of contour plots. Regression models were generated for establishing the relationship between inputs and outputs. Finally, the NSGA-III meta-heuristic algorithm is employed to obtain a variety of non-dominated “optimal” solutions that will balance the existing trade-off between Fz and Ra according to the needs and response importance determined by workshops and manufacturing facilities.
