Optimal Setting of Process Parameters in Turning of Aluminium Based Composite using Taguchi’s Quality Loss Function Analysis

Abstract

The present work is to explore the impact of process parameters while turning aluminium-based composite using carbide tools. The experiments were performed on a CNC turret lathe using Taguchi's standard L18 orthogonal array. Taguchi's quality loss function analysis was used to analyze the responses. The nose radius: 0.8 mm, speed: 1250 RPM, feed: 0.1 mm/rev and depth of cut: 0.9 mm are found as the best machining parameters that yield the optimal results. According to the ANOVA results, feed is the most influencing factor in determining the multi-response value.
