ABSTRACT
An experimental investigation of the effect of process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on Material Removal Rate (MRR) have been carried out during CNC turning of Mild Carbon steel CS 1030 using Taguchi experimental design. An Orthogonal array has been selected and constructed to find the optimal levels and to analyze the effect of the turning parameters. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio has been calculated to construct the analysis of variance (ANOVA) table to study the performance characteristics in dry turning operations. The ANOVA shows that, the feed rate has the most significant role (56.79%) in producing higher MRR, followed by cutting speed (31.95%). Interaction of feed and speed has a highest significant effect on Material removal rate with 11.18% contribution. Also maximum material removal rate was achieved at optimal parametric combination of 347mm/min cutting speed, 0.458 mm/rev feed rate and 1.1 mm depth of cut.
