Optimize The Turning Parameter Using Taguchi Methodology

Abstract

Turning is a most popular cutting process which is widely used in small as well as large scale industries. The selection of better combination of input parameter be means enhancement in productivity. The aim of this paper is to optimize the turning parameter (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut) using Taguchi methodology for minimizing surface roughness. The experiment were performed according to the L₉ orthogonal design matrix on the lathe machine. The result shows that optimal condition of the parameters gives surface finish which is better than initial . The cylindrical turning is a popular metal cutting prceses used in the indusrties to removed unwanted material in desired workpiece material.
