Abstract
The turning process is used in many industries ranging from large engine manufactures to small die shops. The turning process using CNC lathe is widely used because of its versatility and efficiency. Surface roughness is an important factor that affects the quality in manufacturing process. The main objective of this paper is to analysis the surface roughness in CNC turning operation by various parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed, depth of cut. Response surface methodology has been used to study the effect of the main turning parameters on the surface roughness of EN 36 alloys steel. Main contribution of the study is to the minimum surface roughness and to find out optimum turning condition using an integration of RSM and Taguchi. RSM and Taguchi approach provide a systematic and effective methodology for the modeling and the optimization. The RSM based surface roughness model in terms of cutting speed, feed rate will develop by means of the experimental database as per Box-Behnken design of experiments. The RSM based surface roughness model can be optimized using a Taguchi method in order to find the optimum values of independent variables.
