Nanocomposites were prepared with Al-6065-Si and multi walled carbon nanotubes of 1 wt.% as reinforcement through the stir-casting method. Fabricated nanocomposites were machined on a lathe machine using a tungsten carbide tool. The study investigated the multi-objective optimization of the turning operation. Cutting velocity, feed, and depth of cut were considered for providing minimum Surface Roughness of the workpiece. Also, the power consumed by the lathe machine with maximum metal removal rate was examined by surface response methodology. The design of experiments was developed based on rotational central composite design. Analysis of variance was executed to investigate the adequacy and the suitable fit of the developed mathematical models. Multiple regression models were used to represent the relationship between the input and the desired output variables. The analysis indicates that the feed is the most influential factor that effects the surface roughness of the workpiece. Cutting speed and the depth of cut are two other important factors that proportionally influence the power consumed by the lathe tool as compared to the feed rate.

Optimization in turning means determination of the optimal set of the machining parameters to satisfy the objectives within the operational constraints. These objectives may be the minimum tool wear, the maximum metal removal rate (MRR), or any weighted combination of both. The main machining parameters which are considered as variables of the optimization are the cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius. The optimum set of these four input parameters is determined for a particular job-tool combination of 7075Al alloy-15 wt. % SiC (20–40 μm) composite and tungsten carbide tool during a single-pass turning which minimizes the tool wear and maximizes the metal removal rate. The regression models, developed for the minimum tool wear and the maximum MRR were used for finding the multiresponse optimization solutions. To obtain a trade-off between the tool wear and MRR the, a method for simultaneous optimization of the multiple responses based on an overall desirability function was used. The research deals with the optimization of multiple surface roughness parameters along with MRR in search of an optimal parametric combination (favorable process environment) capable of producing desired surface quality of the turned product in a relatively lesser time (enhancement in productivity). The multi-objective optimization resulted in a cutting speed of 210 m/min, a feed of 0.16 mm/rev, a depth of cut of 0.42 mm, and a nose radius of 0.40 mm. These machining conditions are expected to respond with the minimum tool wear and maximum the MRR, which correspond to a satisfactory overall desirability.

Quality of the product is the major concern in manufacturing industries from customers as well as producers point of view. There are number of factors in the product such as surface condition, height, weight, length, width etc., which may be consider for the measurement of the quality. Surface roughness and Metal Removal Rate (MRR) are the two main outcomes on which numerous researchers have applied different approaches for several years to get optimum results. In this study, Taguchi Method is applied for getting optimum parameters settings for Surface roughness and Metal Removal Rate (MRR) in case of turning AlMg3 (AA5754) in CNC Lathe machine, which is an aluminum alloy having diameter 20 mm and length 100 mm. The three parameters i.e. spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut with 3 levels are taken as the process variables and the working ranges of these parameters for conducting experiments are selected based on Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal Array (OA) design. To analyze the significant process parameters; main effect plots for data means and for S/N ratio are generated using Minitab statistical software.


Manufacturing a defect free (quality) product is playing a vital role in today’s globally competitive, customer oriented era. Meeting the demand of the market by producing sufficient quantity is another challenge. Achieving greater production rates without compromising on quality, increases the complexity of the task. Adopting modern manufacturing methods like CNC turning are essential to meet the above requirements. EN19 is an important member in the family of alloy steels, which has a wide variety of applications in automobile and machine tool industries. Optimization of machining parameters is crucial in obtaining the required outputs such as quality and productivity. In this work, optimization of CNC turning parameters for machining EN19 alloy steel is performed. The number of experiments was designed using face centred central composite based response surface methodology with varied independent process parameters namely cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. After designing the experiments, the performance measures such as surface roughness of the test samples and Material Removal Rate (MRR) is calculated using the existing formulae. The influence of parameters on MRR and surface roughness are determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and for significance interactions of the process parameters are also considered. Using MINITAB 17 software analysis is performed. Further, regression analysis has been done and second order mathematical model is obtained. Using desirability approach, optimization is carried out.

Laser heating assisted cutting is a lucrative technique for machining difficult-to-machine materials such as tungsten carbide (YG20), which uses a high power laser to focally heat a workpiece before the material removal with traditional or innovative cutting tool. In the latter case, the application of ultrasonic vibration to the cutting edge was found to replace the continuous cutting mode to the interrupted one, it reduces the adhesion and entanglement of chips, improves the tool wear and surface roughness of the workpiece. The combination of laser heating assisted cutting and two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration cutting methods has been successfully applied by the authors of this paper for cutting of tungsten carbide (YG20). In this follow-up study, the proposed composite method is experimentally and theoretically verified. Through the mathematical model and simulation analysis, its advantages, including small cutting force, softening the effect and improved machining properties of the processed material (YG20) are corroborated. The dependencies between the laser power, cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate on the surface roughness are established via the response surface methodology. The genetic algorithm is applied to the optimization of machining parameters by setting the material removal rate as the object variable and surface roughness as a constraint variable. The results obtained strongly suggest that the optimized parameters improve the processing efficiency and furnish the required processing quality.

This paper presents the prediction of a statistically analyzed model for the surface roughness,R_a of end-milled Machinable glass ceramic (MGC). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to construct the models based on 3-factorial Box-Behnken Design (BBD). It is found that cutting speed is the most significant factor contributing to the surface roughness value followed by the depth of cut and feed rate. The surface roughness value decreases for higher cutting speed along with lower feed and depth of cut. Additionally, the process optimization has also been done in terms of material removal rate (MRR) to the model’s response. Ideal combinations of machining parameters are then suggested for common goal to achieve lower surface roughness value and higher MRR.

The present paper investigates the cutting parameters pertaining to the turning of X2CrNi18-09 austenitic stainless steel that are studied and optimized using both RSM and desirability approaches. The cutting tool inserts used are the CVD coated carbide. The cutting speed, the feed rate and the depth of cut represent the main machining parameters considered. Their influence on the surface roughness and the cutting force are further investigated using the ANOVA method. The results obtained lead to conclude that the feed rate is the surface roughness highest influencing parameter with a contribution of 89.69%.The depth of cut and the feed rate are further identified as the most important parameters affecting the cutting force with contributions of 46.46% and 39.04% respectively. The quadratic mathematical models presenting the progression of the surface roughness and the cutting force and based on the machining parameters considered (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) were obtained through the application of the RSM method. They are presented and compared to the experimental results. Good agreement is found between the two sections of the investigation. Furthermore, the flank wear of the CVD-coated carbide tool (GC2015) is found to increase with both cutting speed and cutting time. A higher tool life represented by t=44min is observed at cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut of 280m/min,0.08mm/rev and 0.2mm respectively. Moreover and at low cutting speeds, the formation of micro weld is noticed and leads to an alteration of the surface roughness of the work piece. Finally, optimizing the machining parameters with the objective of achieving an improved surface roughness was accomplished through the application of the Desirability Function approach. This enabled to finding out the optimal parameters for maximal material removal rate and best surface quality for a cutting speed of 350m/min, a feed rate of 0.088 mm/rev and a depth of cut of 0.9mm.

Tool chatter is an unavoidable phenomenon encountered in machining processes. Acquired raw chatter signals are contaminated with various types of ambient noises. Signal processing is an efficient technique to explore chatter as it eliminates unwanted background noise present in the raw signal. In this study, experimentally recorded raw chatter signals have been denoised using wavelet transform in order to eliminate the unwanted noise inclusions. Moreover, effect of machining parameters such as depth of cut ( d), feed rate ( f) and spindle speed ( N) on chatter severity and metal removal rate has been ascertained experimentally. Furthermore, in order to quantify the chatter severity, a new parameter called chatter index has been evaluated considering aforesaid denoised signals. A set of 15 experimental runs have been performed using Box–Behnken design of experiment. These experimental observations have been used to develop mathematical models for chatter index and metal removal rate considering response surface methodology. In order to check the statistical significance of control parameters, analysis of variance has been performed. Furthermore, more experiments are conducted and these results are compared with the theoretical ones in order to validate the developed response surface methodology model.

Micro-turning is a micro-mechanical cutting method used to produce small diameter cylindrical parts. Since the diameter of the part is usually small, it may be a little difficult to improve the surface quality by a second operation, such as grinding. Therefore, it is important to obtain the good surface finish in micro turning process using the ideal cutting parameters. Here, the multi-objective optimization of micro-turning process parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were performed by response surface method (RSM). Two important machining indices, such as surface roughness and material removal rate, were simultaneously optimized in the micro-turning of a Ti6Al4V alloy. Further, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was done on the cutting tools. The overall results depict that the feed rate is the prominent factor that significantly affects the responses in micro-turning operation. Moreover, the SEM results confirmed that abrasion and crater wear mechanism were observed during the micro-turning of a Ti6Al4V alloy.
