Optimization of material removal rate and surface roughness in turning of 316 steel by using full factorial method

Abstract

Present work aim to study the influence of feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut on MRR and surface roughness of AISI 316 stainless steel during turning process. The tool used in the study was a generally used uncoated carbide tool. The experimental trial was planned by using full factorial method of design of experiments. Further the ANOVA analysis was also carried out to rank the input variables. For MRR cutting speed is the major controlling factor while surface roughness is mainly affected by feed rate. The confirmation test was also performed an error of about 4.5% was observed.
