Experimental Investigation of Effect of Overhang Tool Length on Tool Vibration and Surface Roughness

Abstract

In this paper, the experimental investigation of effect of overhang tool length, depth of cut and feed rate on two responses such as tool vibration and surface roughness, by using Taguchi method and main effect plot was performed. C45E steel bars with diameter of 88 mm were machining using different values of overhang tool length, depth of cut and feed rate. Other process parameters were constant. Taguchi method was performed in order to identify the effect of each input process parameters on the analysed responses. The results were shown that the overhang tool length has a primary effect on the tool vibration and the surface roughness. The feed rate has secondary effect on the tool vibration, while the depth of cut has secondary effect on the surface roughness.
