... They observed that the hardness of AISI 304 steel was the least affected by an increase in cutting speed and feed rate, however, cutting speed significantly affected SR and better surface finish was achieved at higher cutting speeds and smaller feed rates. Chandrasheker et al. [15] performed the turning of AISI 316 stainless using diamond tipped tool, since diamond is a super hard material and has many advantages, as compared to tools made with common abrasives. They concluded that surface finish was significantly affected by cutting speed and was followed by cutting fluid. ...

The present study investigates the CNC milling performance of the machining of AISI 316 stainless steel using a carbide cutting tool insert. Three critical machining parameters, namely cutting speed (v), feed rate (f) and depth of cut (d), each at three levels, are chosen as input machining parameters. The face-centred central composite design (FCCCD) of the experiment is based on response surface methodology (RSM), and machining performances are measured in terms of material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR). Analysis of variance, response graphs, and three-dimensional surface plots are used to analyse experimental results. Multi-response optimization using the data envelopment analysis based ranking (DEAR) approach is used to find the ideal configuration of the machining parameters for milling AISI 316 SS. The variables v = 220 m/min, f = 0.20 mm/rev and d = 1.2 mm were obtained as the optimal machine parameter setting. Study reveals that MRR is affected dominantly by d followed by v. For SR, f is the dominating factor followed by d. SR is found to be almost unaffected by v. Finally, it is important to state that this work made an attempt to successfully machine AISI 316 SS with a carbide cutting tool insert, to investigate the effect of important machining parameters on MRR and SR and also to optimize the multiple output response using DEAR method.

[3] presents an effectiveapproach for the optimization of turning parameter usingthis machining parameters namely Cutting Speed, Depth of Cut, Feed Rate and cutting fluids are optimized withmultiple performance characteristics, such as minimum surface finish and maximummaterial removal rate [4].

This paper presents the effects of process parameters on surface roughness of hardened AISI420 stainless steel using cemented carbide inserts. Plan of experiment is done with the help of design of experiment. A total number of 9 experiments were conducted with an orthogonal array. In this research work, four control factors like spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut and insert nose radius are used as a input process parameters and work piece material (AISI 420 stainless steel) is hardened to a hardness 30HRC were investigated at three different levels. The turning operations are done on Fanuc controlled Laxmi lathe machine. Surface roughnesses of the machined parts are checked by using Mitutoyo surface roughness tester SJ-210. For the statistical representation MINITAB 19 statistical software was used. The effect of each process parameter on surface roughness was analyzed using one way ANNOVA. The graph shows that, surface roughness value increases with increase in feed rate while increase in spindle speed, depth of cut and insert nose radius decreases the surface roughness.

The growing competition in the modern era for high productivity with high quality surface finish has emerged the need of using high quality machining tool. The influence of cutting parameters in the turning process mainly affects the surface roughness and machining time. The significant performance measures in turning of different materials are mainly cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, cutting fluids which affects the surface roughness of the required material. This paper reviews the optimisation of cutting parameters in turning process using Taguchi and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The performance characteristics were checked by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to find out which input parameter dominates the most during the turning process on CNC lathe. Signal to Noise ratio(S/N) is used to compare the level of desired output parameters.

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.

Now a day’s achieving a good Surface Finish is the main challenge in the metal cutting industry during turning processes. The present work is to investigate the effect of cutting parameters (speed, feed and depth of cut) in CNC (Computer Numerical Control)turning of AA7075 to achieve low Surface Roughness using tungsten carbide insert. The experiments were designed as per the Taguchi’s L9 (3 levels*3 parameters) Orthogonal array technique. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to find the significance of the cutting parameters on the Surface roughness. The results showed that feed and cutting speed are the most important parameters influencing the surface roughness. From Taguchi analysis the minimum surface roughness are foundat cutting speed of 1000 rpm (Level 1), feed of 0.2 mm/rev (Level 1) and depth of cut of 0.5 mm (Level 1) respectively. Thereafter, optimal range of surface roughness values was predicted. Finally, the relationship between cutting parameters and response was developed by using the MINITAB-16 software and regression analysis has been done. The predicted values were compared with the experimental values and it is observed that both the values were very nearer and hence the models prepared were more accurate and adequate.

Inconel 718, a nickel based super-alloy is an extensively used alloy, accounting for about 50% by weight of materials used in an aerospace engine, mainly in the gas turbine compartment. This is owing to their outstanding strength and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures in excess of 550 0 C. Machining is a requisite operation in the aircraft industries for the manufacture of the components especially for gas turbines. This paper is concerned with optimization of the surface roughness when turning Inconel 718 with cermet inserts. Optimization of turning operation is very useful to reduce cost and time for machining. The approach is based on Response Surface Method (RSM). In this work, second-order quadratic models are developed for surface roughness, considering the cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut as the cutting parameters, using central composite design. The developed models are used to determine the optimum machining parameters. These optimized machining parameters are validated experimentally, and it is observed that the response values are in reasonable agreement with the predicted values.
