Optimization of Grinding Parameters for Minimum Surface Roughness by Taguchi Parametric Optimization Technique

Abstract

Cylindrical grinding is one of the important metal cutting processes used extensively in the finishing operations. Surface finish is the important output responses in the production with respect to quantity and quality respectively. The Experiments are conducted on universal tool and cutter grinding machine with L9 Orthogonal array with input machining variables as work speed, grinding wheel grades and hardness of material. The developed model can be used by the different manufacturing firms to select right combination of machining parameters to achieve an optimal surface roughness (Ra).The results reveals surface roughness (Ra).The predicted optimal values for Ra for Cylindrical grinding process is 1.07 Ra respectively. The results are further confirmed by conducting confirmation experiments.

Investigation on the effect of grinding wheel for grinding of AISI D3 tool steel under different conditions

“…The authors (Asokan et al 2005, Kwak and Kim 2006, Slowik and Slowik 2008, Neşeli et al 2012, Pal et al 2012, George et al 2013, Kumar et al 2018, Veera and Vinoth 2019 used the statistical approaches to optimize the grinding parameters. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a widely used approach to determine the optimal process parameters for the optimized surface roughness in different grinding operations i.e., surface or cylindrical grinding.…”

Three-dimensional modelling and simulation of vibration marks on surface generation in ultra-precision grinding

“…In comparison to empirical models, an analytical approach is preferable due to its better predictability and suitability under a wide range of cutting conditions [15]. A large number of analytical models have been developed, which are focused on studying the surface generation mechanisms so as to trace and track the optimal cutting parameters [16][17][18][19]. Tool characterization is a key aspect to model surface finish, mostly adopting statistical analysis to define a random distribution function of grits with different protrusion heights, and kinetical analysis is used to describe the cutting event so as to determine the surface roughness [20][21][22][23].…”
