Experimental Study of Parameter for Turning GFRP Using Coated Tool

Abstract:

Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) have been used in variety of engineering applications, owing its corrosive resistance property. Machining of GFRP material is difficult to carry out due to the non homogenous structure of material. Optimization of parameters is essential for achieve the quality of product. In this paper, Turning parameter optimization is studied for machining GFRP under dry conditions using coated tool. Single response optimization is performed by Taguchi method.
