Calculate Surface Finish Values With Different Parameters by CNC Turning Process Using Taguchi Method

Abstract

Turning process is one of the most fundamental machining processes used in the manufacturing industry. The process of turning is influenced by many factors such as cutting velocity, feed rate, depth of cut, geometry of cutting tool, and cutting conditions etc., to name a few. In machining operations, achieving the desired surface quality of the machined product is really a challenging job. This is due to the fact that quality is highly influenced by process parameters directly or indirectly. In this thesis the effect of insert nose radius and machining parameters including cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface roughness) in a turning operation are investigated by using the Taguchi optimization method. 3D modeling done by PRO ENGINEER parametric software.
