Abstract
The general manufacturing problem can be described as the achievement of a predefined product quality with given equipment,
cost and time constraints. Unfortunately, for some quality characteristics of a product such as surface roughness it is hard to ensure
that these requirements will be met. This paper aims at presenting the various methodologies and practices that are being employed
for the prediction of surface roughness.
The resulting benefits allow for the manufacturing process to e more productive petitive and at the same time to
reduce any re-processing of the machined workpiece so as to satisfy the technical specifications. Each approach with its advantages
and disadvantages is outlined and the present and future trends are discussed. The approaches are classified into those based on
machining theory, experimental investigation, designed experiments and artificial intelligence (AI).
