Abstract

This paper investigates the parameters affecting the roughness of surfaces produced in the turning process for the material AISI-1016 Steel. Design of experiments was conducted for the analysis of the influence of the turning parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the surface roughness. The results of the machining experiments for AISI-1016 were used to characterize the main factors affecting surface roughness by the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method. The feed rate was found to be the most significant parameter influencing the surface roughness in the turning process. Keywords - AISI-1016 steel, ANOVA, surface roughness, Taguchi method, turning. I. INTRODUCTION Today's modern machining industries face challenge to achieve high quality in terms of work piece dimensional accuracy, surface finish , less wear on cutting tools, economy of machining in terms of cost saving. Surface roughness of the machined part is the most important criteria to judge the quality of operation. The literature survey has revealed that several researchers have attempted to calculate the optimum cutting conditions in a turning operation. Brewer and Rueda developed various monograms to assist in the selection of optimum conditions (1). Some of the other techniques which have been used to optimize the machining parameters include goal programming (2) and geometrical programming (3) Now a day's more attention is given to accuracy and surface roughness of the product in the industries. Surface roughness is the most important criteria in determining the machinability of the material .Surface roughness and dimensional accuracy are the major factors needed to predict the machining performances of any machining operation (4). Optimization of machining parameters increases the utility for machining parameters increases the utility for machining economics and also increases the product quality to greater extent (5).
