Abstract

This project is based upon the study which means it is derived from experiment and observation rather than theory. For the fulfilment of objective our first motive is selection of cutting tool & work tool material selection of various process and performance parameters after parameterssss selection aims to study various techniques for the optimization for that purpose literature review and industrial survey is conducted. The objective of this study was to utilize Taguchi methods to optimize surface roughness in turning mild steel, EN-8 and EN-31. The turning parameters evaluated are cutting speed of 200, 250, and 300 m/min, feed rate of 0.08, 0.12 and 0.15 mm/rev, depth of cut of 0.5 mm and tool grades of TN60, TP0500 and TT8020, each at three levels. The experiment was designed and carried out on the basis of standard L9 Taguchi orthogonal array. The results show that the Taguchi method is suitable to solve the stated problem with minimum number of trials as compared with full factorial design.
