Optimal subdivision of total depth of cut during cost optimization in
multipass turning is an important decision along with the selection of
speed and feed. In this paper a new approach for the determination of
the optimal subdivision of depth of cut is presented. The total produ
ction cost minimization is achieved by summation of the minimum costs
of individual rough passes and the finish pass. The cost of each rough
pass or finish pass is independently minimized. The optimal subdivisi
on of total depth of cut is obtained using an integer programming mode
l. The resulting subdivision of depth of cut yields a lower minimum co
st than that obtained by using the commonly practised strategy of havi
ng minimum depth of cut in the finish pass and removing the remaining
depth of cut in number of rough passes of equal size.
