  Abstract: Machining processes encompass both conventional and non-conventional techniques and optimizing machining parameters is crucial for achieving high-quality outcomes. However, simplifying these processes remains a significant challenge. This study focuses on determining the optimal machining parameters—cutting speed, feed rate, and depth-of-cut to enhance performance characteristics in Al6351 alloy plates. The parameters evaluated include surface roughness (Ra), material removal rate (MRR), resultant forces (RF), and temperature at the tool- workpiece interface (Temp). …
