The present experimental study aimed to examine the selected machining parameters on Surface roughness in the machining of alumina nitride ceramic. The influence of cutting speed and feed rate were determined in end milling by using Cubic boron nitride grinding tool. The predictive surface roughness model has been developed by response surface methodology. The response surface contours with respect to input parameters are presented with the help of Design expert software. The adequacy of the model was tested by ANOVA.

Holes making process is widely applied in die steel machining, Helical milling a hole, also called orbital drill, is hole making process by milling in which the center of end mill orbits around the center of the hole while spinning on its axis and moving in the axial direction. The paper presents the secondary regression prediction model of the holes surface roughness for helical milling of die-steel. To minimize the number of experiments for the design parameters, response surface methodology (RSM) with orthogonal rotatable central composite design is used. By means of variance analyses and additional cutting experiments, the adequacy of this model is confirmed. The model will be helpful in selecting cutting conditions to meet surface finish requirements in helical milling operation.

The surface roughness model in the turning of 34CrMo4 steel was developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut and tool nose radius using response surface methodology. Machining tests were carried out using several tools with several tool radius under different cutting conditions. The roughness equations of cutting tools when machining the steels were achieved by using the experimental data. The results are presented in terms of mean values and confidence levels.The established equation and graphs show that the feed rate and cutting speed were found to be main influencing factor on the surface roughness. It increased with increasing the feed rate and depth of cut, but decreased with increasing the cutting speed, respectively. The variance analysis for the second-order model shows that the interaction terms and the square terms were statistically insignificant. However, it could be seen that the first-order affect of feed rate was significant while cutting speed and depth of cut was insignificant.The predicted surface roughness model of the samples was found to lie close to that of the experimentally observed ones with 95% confident intervals.

This work presents a comprehensive research using the Taguchi method and response surface methodology (RSM) to predict surface roughness parameters in wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) manufacturing for a novel Ti–Al intermetallic based composite that was developed at Supmeca, a composite design laboratory for aeronautical applications in Paris, France. At the first stage, a detailed microstructure analysis was carried out on this composite. After that, the cutting parameters of the WEDM process were determined: Start-up voltage U, Pulse-on-time Ton, speed advance S and flushing pressure p were selected to find out their effects on surface roughness Ra. In the second stage, analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used as the statistical method to define the significance of the machining parameters. After that, an integrated method combining the Taguchi method and the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to develop a predictive model of the finish surface. The microstructure of the surface and subsurface of the cut edge, the micro-cracks, debris and craters and surface roughness of the specimens cut at the altered conditions were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D-Surfscan.

Cutting forces and surface roughness are important output parameters affecting the machining performance and quality of any machined surface in hard milling. In order to obtain the best surface quality and highest productivity, the input-cutting parameters need be considered and chosen properly whenever hard milling is involved. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt is made to conduct the multi-objective optimization of the surface roughness (Ra) and the resultant cutting force (Ft) in hard milling of SKD61 steel by Taguchi method and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Values of the input parameters for milling tests are chosen through the stability lobe diagram of a machine tool simulated by the use of Cutpro software. The Taguchi method is used for designing all of the milling experiments. The values of Ra and Ft are measured by a Surftest SJ-400 and a dynamometer, respectively, and then analysis of variance is conducted to find out the effect of machining process conditions on Ra and Ft. In order to get the low Ft and Ra, a multi-objective optimization is implemented with the use of the desirability function. The results reveal that the optimized machining conditions for Ra and Ft are a cutting speed of 100 m/min, a feed rate of 0.015 mm/tooth, and a depth of cut of 0.44 mm, with predicted Ra of 0.206 µm and Ft of 66.58 N.
