Optimization of Machining Parameters for CNC Turning of Different Materials

Abstract:

Abstract. This paper proposes an experimental investigation of the most influencing machining parameters like spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut on CNC turning of three metals viz. 316L Stainless steel, EN24 alloy steel and Ti 6 Al 4V alloy. Fractional factorial design with orthogonal array [L₉ (3³)] is employed for the optimization of these turning process parameters. All experiments were carried out using EMCO CNC 250 Turn machine with carbide cutting tool. The comparison revealed that feed rate and depth of cut are the most significant turning factors on surface roughness followed by spindle speed for these three metals.
