Effect of Cutting Parameters on Feed Force in Machining AISI 1018 Steel

Abstract:

In this present work, influence of cutting parameters on feed force is studied and optimized using Taguchi approach. AISI 1018 steel alloy is selected and machined using tungsten carbide tool. Eighty-One specimens were thus turned and cutting force was measured using lathe tool dynamometer. L₂₇ orthogonal array in Taguchi approach selected for optimization. From ANOVA, the results showed that out of the parameters selected feed rate has major effect on feed force. In addition, the combination of cutting speed and feed rate has major effect on feed force
