CNC TURNING PROCESS OPTIMIZATION USING TAGUCHI & RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY TECHNIQUES OF D.O.E.

Abstract

Turning is one of the most widely used metal cutting process. The increasing Turning is one of the most widely used metal cutting proimportance of turning operation is gaining new dimensions in the present industrial age, in which the growing competition calls for all the efforts to be directed towards the economical manufacturing of machined parts. As the competition grows closer, customer now have increasingly high demands on quality, making surface roughness as one of the most competitive dimension in today’s manufacturing industry. In products like automotive engines, surface roughness is considered as one of determinant for efficiency and performance of engine. In this study work Fractional Factorial Experimentation approach (D.O.E. Taguchi & R.S.M) has been used to study the impact of turning parameters on surface roughness of work piece so that turning parameters can be optimized to obtain the best surface finish possible. Pareto ANOVA technique & MINITAB software have been us...
