FINDINGS OF LITERATURE REVIEW
Cutting parameters like feed rate,depth of cut,spindle speed,type of coolant are some
of the important parametrs which affect the surface roughness .In the turning process
the parameter such as cutting speed ,feed ,depth of cut and type of coolant etc are
optimized for better surface finish.

 INTRODUCTION
 Turning is a machining process used to obtain the desired dimension of roundmetal.
 The main objective in present industrial era is to produce low cost quality product
with required dimensions in an optimum time. Therefore the optimum cutting
parameters are to be recognized first.
 In turning, the metal is in rotational motion and a cutting tool is used to shear away
the unwanted metals.
 This process requires lathe or turning machine, cutting tool, work piece and fixture.
The work piece is fixed in the fixture and is rotated in high speed.
 The cutting tool is fed in parallel to the axis of rotation as shown in Fig. During this
process the cutting parameters highly depends upon the work piece,cutting tool
material,etc.
Surface finish
 The surface finish in machining operations depends on
1.the type of chip formation
2.tool profile and geometry
3.cutting conditions

 A continuous chip without buit-up-edge represents a steady cutting condition

and hence gives best surface finish .
 Buit-up-edge formation leads to vibration and has adverse effect on surface
finish.
 Discontinuous chip formation causes fluctuation in force and lead to the
formation of ridge on the machined surface.
 The surface finish may be specified in terms of
(1) The peak-to-valley height (h)- It is the root-to-crest value of surface
roughness .
(2) The center-line average (CLA)- It is found by averaging the height of the
surafe above and below a centre line over the sample length(l)
 TECHNIQUES WILL BE USED
TAGUCHI METHOD :
 The Taguchi method developed by Genichi Taguchi (1990) was the most
important statistical tool for the optimization of single output parameter .
 It consist of input parameters may it be an L27 orthogonal array or an L9
orthogonal array depending upon the degree of accuracy needed.
 Taguchi is a set of methodologies by different properties of material and
machining process has been taken into account of design shape.
 Taguchi parametric design is the operational tool for robust design it
proposals a simple and organized qualitative ideal design to a comparatively
low cost .
 The Taguchi method of off-line (Engineering ) quality control encompasses all
stages of product /process development .however the key component for
attaining great value at low cost is Design of Experiments.
Step of Taguchi method follow as:
1. Selection of the factor to be evaluated .
2. Selection of the number of levels.
3. Selection of the appropriate orthogonal array.
4. Assignment of factors to the columns.
5. Conduct the experiment.
6. Analyze the result ,predict the optimum level.
7. Perform the verification experiment and plan the future action.
