• abstract = "It is necessary to improve the machinability of difficult-to-cut materials such as hardened steel, nickel-based alloys, and titanium alloys as these materials offer superior properties such as chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and high strength to weight ratio, making them indispensable for many applications. Machining with self-propelled rotary tools (SPRT) is considered one of the promising techniques used to provide proper tool life even under dry conditions. In this work, an attempt has been performed to analyse, model, and optimise the machining process of AISI 4140 hardened steel using self-propelled rotary tools. Experimental analysis has been offered to (a) compare the fixed and rotary tools performance and (b) study the effect of the inclination angle on the surface quality and tool wear. Moreover, the current study implemented some artificial intelligence-based approaches (i.e., genetic programming and NSGA-II) to model and optimise the machining process of AISI 4140 hardened steel with self-propelled rotary tools. The feed rate, cutting velocity, and inclination angle were the selected design variables, while the tool wear, surface roughness, and material removal rate (MRR) were the studied outputs. The optimal surface roughness was obtained at a cutting speed of 240 m/min, an inclination angle of 20?, and a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev. In addition, the minimum flank tool wear was observed at a cutting speed of 70 m/min, an inclination angle of 10?, and a feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev. Moreover, different weights have been assigned for the three studied outputs to offer different optimised solutions based on the designer's interest (equal-weighted, finishing, and productivity scenarios). It should be stated that the findings of the current work offer valuable recommendations to select the optimised cutting conditions when machining hardened steel AISI 4140 within the selected ranges.",
