Abstract In this study, optimal milling parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth are calculated using genetic algorithm technique. For milling parameters, an objective function that is a combination of two criteria, minimum production cost and minimum production time is made. Weight factor for each of the objectives is given by the user. In this research, the technical constraints such as dimensional accuracy, surface finish and machine powers are used. Keywords: genetic algorithm, milling parameters, milling constraints, objective function, displacement and step function  Correspondence should be addressed to Seyed Mojtaba Khatami, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Semnan branch, Technical and Vocational University and Palan
