Optimization of Cutting Parameters In Turning Process

High productivity is the basic need of any manufacturing industry nowadays because of high quality product demand and cost efficiency. Turning is the basic operation in manufacturing and to optimize the process, the output parameters like material removal rate that is to be maximized and surface finish which is to be minimized, must be assessed at close look. The book gives the effect of input parameters (cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate) on the parameters of the turning process. Three levels of each parameter are selected within the operating range and the experimental runs are performed according to Taguchi's L-27 orthogonal array. The turning on EN9 specimen is carried out on CNC lathe. The material removal rate is found out by weight difference method and surface roughness is tested by Surftest 201 Mitutoyo surface roughness meter.
