THE EFFECT OF TURNING PARAMETERS ON THE RESPONSES

The present work is to explore the effect of cutting parameters on the material removal rate and surface roughness while turning of EN19 steel using tungsten carbide insert. For the experiments, cutting speed, feed and depth of cut were considered as input parameters at three different levels. The experiments are conducted as per the taguchi's standard L9 Orthogonal array. From the taguchi results, the optimal combination of cutting parameters for material removal rate is found at: v3-f3-d3. The optimal combination of cutting parameters for surface roughness is found at v3-f1-d1. The ANOVA results showed that, the cutting speed and the feed are the most dominant factors in effecting the material removal rate and surface roughness respectively
