Optimizing Feed Force in Turning Process Using Taguchi’s Parameter Design Approach

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of the paper is to obtain an optimal setting of turning process parameters (cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate) resulting in an optimal value of the feed force when machining En19 steel with tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts. The effects of the selected turning process parameters on feed force and the subsequent optimal settings of the parameters have been accomplished using Taguchi’s parameter design approach. It was indicated by the results that the selected turning process parameters significantly affect the selected machining characteristic. The percent contributions of parameters as quantified in the S/N ANOVA envisage that the relative power of cutting speed (72.09 %) in controlling variation and mean feed force is significantly higher than that of the depth of cut (22.30 %) and feed rate (05.31 %). The predicted optimum feed force is 98.067 N. The results have been validated by the confirmation experiments.
