Assessment of Turning process using the WSM Method

Abstract

Metal turning is a form of machining. It is used to create circular areas by cutting objects. The turning process requires a machine or lathe, a working tool, a fixture, and a cutting tool. A preformed piece of metal is secured to a device. A common process for turning a part includes rotating it while moving a single-point cutting tool parallel to the axis of rotation. This cutting tool works on both the outer and inner surfaces of the part. Factors such as cutting speed, cutting tool, depth of cut, and work-piece are considered in the turning process. In the assessment, the options are Cu, Si, Mn, Mg, and Zn. The results show that Zn ranks first, while Si has the lowest rank. The dataset's value for the Range of Turning process in the WSM (Weighted Sum Model) Method indicates that zinc (Zn) achieves the top ranking.
