ABSTRACT
• This study investigated the optimization of CNC turning operation parameters for EN-
31 steel using the Taguchi method.
• In turning process parameters such as cutting tool geometry and materials, depth of
cut, feed rates, cutting speeds as well as the use of cutting fluids will impact the MRR
and machining properties like surface roughness.
• The controllable input parameters were Speed (RPM), Feed (mm/rev) and Depth of
Cut (mm).
• The properties of Surface Finish and Material Removal Rate were selected as the
quality targets or the response variables.
• The signal-to-noise ratio and the analysis of variance are employed to study the
performance characteristics on turning operation.
• The result shows that the cutting speed has more influential effect on surface
roughness of EN-31 steel followed by feed rate and has minimum effect of depth of
cut on the same. Whereas it has been seen that, in case of material removal rate, depth
of cut and feed rate have the more influential effect as compare to the cutting speed.
Objectives
The present study has the following proposed objectives:
To study the influence of machining parameters viz. speed, feed and depth of
cut, on the Material Removal Rate of machined material.
To study the influence of machining parameters viz. speed, feed and depth of
cut, on the surface roughness of machined material.
Step-1: Identify the main function, side effects, and failure mode
Step-2: Identify the noise factors, testing conditions, and quality characteristics
Step-7: Analyze the data, predict the optimum levels and performance
Step-8: Perform the verification experiment and plan the future action
