This research outlines the Taguchi optimization methodology, which is applied to optimize cutting parameters in drilling of AISI 1040 steel. The drilling parameters evaluated are cutting speed, feed rate, and helix angle. Series of experiments are conducted to relate the cutting parameters on the thrust force and torque. L27(313) orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio is employed to analyze the influence of these parameters on thrust force and torque during drilling. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to study the effect of process parameters on machining process. The study shows that the Taguchi method is suitable to solve the stated problem with the minimum number of trials. The main objective is to find the important factors and combination of factors that influence the machining process to achieve low thrust force and torque. The analysis of the Taguchi method indicates that the feed rate is the most significant factor affecting the thrust force, while the cutting speed contributes the most to the torque.

Abstract Drilling is most commonly used secondary machining process for structural joining of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) composites. Performing drilling operations on GFRPs/Multi-Walled CarbonNanoTubes (MWCNTs) reinforced GFRPs is really a challenging task due to their non-homogeneity and anisotropic behavior, which directs to generation of material damages. The prime focus of current work is to identify the suitable process parameters for enhancing the performance of drilling of GFRP nanocomposites. In this study, the drilling experiments are conducted on 0.3wt.% MWCNT-GFRP nanocomposites with solid carbide, TiCN and TiAlN coated drills (6mm diameter) under dry and chilled air cutting environments. The dry drilling experiments are conducted without any assistance of cooling fluid in ambient condition. The chilled air at a temperature of 3°C was supplied from the vortex tube. Experimental data is used for ANOVA (balanced) analysis. The cutting parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed and tool type (coating) are considered as input and the measured thrust force, delamination factor and AE RMS signal are treated as output responses. From ANOVA results, it is observed that the influence of feed rate is more on thrust force as compared to cutting speed. The coefficients of determination (R2) shows good fit between thrust force and cutting parameters and the corresponding confidence levels are above 98% for all cutting environments. Similarly, R2 values of delamination factor and AE RMS signals are above 90% and 96% respectively. The minimum thrust force and torque values are noted as 12.61 N and 0.152 N-m respectively at lower feed rate (10 mm/min) and higher cutting speed (1500 RPM) using TiCN coated drill under chilled air cutting environment. The delamination factor is also low (1.025) under the same cutting conditions of minimum cutting forces. A good correlation exists between the thrust force vs. delamination factor (> 0.85) and the delamination factor vs. AE RMS signal (> 0.80) for the selected cutting environments. The recommended range of RMS voltage is 0.083 to 0.121 volts for producing the delamination free holes on GFRP nanocomposites.

Drilling is an important machining process in various manufacturing industries. High-quality holes are possible with the proper selection of tools and cutting parameters. This study investigates the effect of spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameter on the generated thrust force, the formation of chips, post-machining tool condition, and hole quality. The hole surface defects and the top and bottom edge conditions were also investigated using scan electron microscopy. The drilling tests were carried out on AA2024-T3 alloy under a dry drilling environment using 6 and 10 mm uncoated carbide tools. Analysis of Variance was employed to further evaluate the influence of the input parameters on the analysed outputs. The results show that the thrust force was highly influenced by feed rate and drill size. The high spindle speed resulted in higher surface roughness, while the increase in the feed rate produced more burrs around the edges of the holes. Additionally, the burrs formed at the exit side of holes were larger than those formed at the entry side. The high drill size resulted in greater chip thickness and an increased built-up edge on the cutting tools.

In finishing processes, the quality of aluminum parts is mostly influenced by static and dynamic phenomena. Different solutions have been studied toward a stable milling process attainment. However, the improvements obtained with the tuning of process parameters are limited by the system stiffness and external dampers devices interfere with the machining process. To deal with this challenge, this work analyzes the suitability of elastomer layers as passive damping elements directly located under the part to be machined. Thus, exploiting the sealing properties of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), a suitable flexible vacuum fixture is developed, enabling a proper implementation in the manufacturing process. Two different compounds are characterized under axial compression and under finishing operations. The compression tests present the effect of the feed rate and the strain accumulative effect in the fixture compressive behavior. Despite the higher strain variability of the softer rubber, different milling process parameters, such as the tool feed rate, can lead to a similar compressive behavior of the fixture regardless the elastomer hardness. On the other hand, the characterization of these flexible fixtures is completed over AA2024 floor milling of rigid parts and compared with the use of a rigid part clamping. These results show that, as the cutting speed and the feed rate increases, due to the strain evolution of the rubber, the part quality obtained tend to equalize between the flexible and the rigid clamping of the workpiece. Due to the versatility of the NBR for clamping different part geometries without new fixture redesigns, this leads to a competitive advantage of these flexible solutions against the classic rigid vacuum fixtures. Finally, a model to predict the grooving forces with a bull-nose end mill regardless of the stiffness of the part support is proposed and validated for the working range.

Machining process parameters are main factors influencing machining quality and efficiency. Finite element models of tool and part are set up using finite element software Deform-3D. Variety laws of cutting force and temperature under different process parameters are simulated. The results are analyzed. Cutting force grows obviously with the growth of cutting speed (vc). However, cutting force fluctuates and decreases with the growth of cutting depth (ap) indicating the phenomenon of work hardening. Cutting force fluctuates and grows with the growth of feed rate ( f ). But the influence of feed rate ( f ) to cutting force is smaller than that of cutting speed (vc). The growths of the above mentioned three process parameters all cause the rise of temperature. Machining simulation research provides the optimum process parameters for CNC programming.


This project was done to learn the effects of cutting parameters on cutting force and roughness (surface roughnes) of AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy. Machining parameters involved in this project are cutting speed, feed rate, and lubrication methods. Deckel Maho DMU 50 eVolution high speed milling machine was using and uncoated carbide button insert was used as the cutting tool. Cutting force was measured during the milling process and roughness was measured after that and cleaning process to ensure no interference that would conflicted the results. The best machining parameters identified when feed rate at 0.05 mm per tooth, cutting speed are at 600 m per min, and minimum quantity lubrication was applied during the machining process. From analysis of variance (ANOVA) table generated by Minitab software, this project can conclude that feed rate, cutting speed, and lubrication methods are significant to cutting force and roughness when machining AZ31 Mg Alloy Therefore, the relationship of surface roughness and cutting force should be taken as a major key point in machining processes. In the automotive field, magnesium was used to fabricate an engine that place at front body due to reduce the weight of vehicle. This design can increase performance and balancing of weight [1].

In the metal machining process, cutting speed and feed rate are cutting parameters that affect the surface quality of the workpiece produced. The use of improper cutting parameters can cause the workpiece surface to be rough, and the cutting toolage to be shorter. This study was conducted to determine the effect of cutting parameters and the use of carbide tools on the surface roughness of metal steel workpieces. The research was carried out using the experimental method of AISI 4340 steel metal workpiece turning using cutting tool coated. Five variations of cutting speed used are: 140 m/min, 150 m/min, 160 m/min, 170 m/min, 180 m/min and three variations in feed rate: 0.25 mm/rev, 0.3 mm/rev, 0.35 mm/rev. After the turning process, the surface roughness of the workpiece is measured using a surface tester. From the results of the study, it was found that the surface roughness value was directly proportional to the feed rate and inversely proportional to the cutting speed. The smallest surface roughness value is 9.56 μm on cutting speed 180 m / min, and feed rate is 0.25 mm/rev.

One of the most important issues in turning operations is to choose suitable parameters in order to achieve a desired surface finish. The surface finish in machining operation depends on many parameters such as workpiece material, tool material, tool coating, machining parameters, etc. The purpose of this research is to focus on the analysis of optimum cutting parameters to get the lowest surface roughness in turning Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with the insert with the standard code DNMG 110404 under dry cutting condition, by the Taguchi method. The turning parameters are evaluated as cutting speed of 14, 20 and 28 m/min, feed rate of 0.12, 0.14 and 0.16 mm/rev, depth of cut of 0.3, 0.6 and 1 mm, each at three levels. The Experiment was designed using the Taguchi method and 9 experiments were conducted by this process. The results are analyzed using analysis of variance method (ANOVA). The results of analysis show that the depth of cut has a significant role to play in producing lower surface roughness that is about 63.33% followed by feed rate about 30.25%, and cutting speed has less contribution on the surface roughness. Also it was realized that with the use of the confirmation test, the surface roughness improved by 227% from its initial state.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) are widely used in many engineering applications as replacement for various other elements to make use of the advantage of its high strength-weight ratio, durability and high corrosion resistance. The paper herein is an attempt to evaluate the drilling characteristics of CFRP by means of three different drill bit types (HSS, TiAlN and TiN) using Taguchi L27 (313) orthogonal array under dry condition. Firstly, the machining process parameters (cutting speed and feed rate) are optimized with multiple performance characteristics using Multi-objective Taguchi technique and TOPSIS. Secondly, mathematical model is developed to correlate the machining process parameters and the performance characteristics (surface roughness, circularity and cylindricity) using response surface analysis. ANOVA is used to validate the developed mathematical model of the responses. The investigation reveals that the results of TOPSIS technique are in good agreement with the multi-objective Taguchi technique and also feed rate is the most predominant factor which affects the responses.

In this study, the effect of cutting parameters such as the depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed and the number of inserts on surface roughness were investigated in the milling of the AISI 4140 steel. The optimal control factors for surface quality were detected by using the Taguchi technique. Experimental trials were designed according to the Taguchi L18 (21x33) orthogonal array. The statistical effects of control factors on surface roughness have been established by using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Optimal cutting parameters were obtained by using the S/N ratio values. The ANOVA results showed that the effective factors were the number of inserts and the feed rate on surface roughness. However, the depth of cut and the cutting speed showed an insignificant effect. Additionally, the First-order and Second-order regression analysis were conducted to estimate the performance characteristics of the experiment. The acquired regression equation results matched with the surface roughness measurement results. The optimal performance characteristics were obtained as a 0.5 mm depth of cut, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate, 325 m/min cutting speed and 1 number of inserts by using the Taguchi method. Additionally, the confirmation test results indicated that the Taguchi method was very prosperous in the optimization of the machining parameters to obtain the minimum surface roughness in the milling of the AISI 4140 steel.
