Optimization of CNC Turning Process Parameters for Prediction of Surface Roughness by Factorial Experimentation

In the present investigation an attempt is made to evaluate the effect of certain cutting variables on surface roughness in plain turning of medium carbon steel AISI 1055 under cutting condition. Cutting speed, depth of cut, feed and cutting flow rate are selected as the influencing parameters. The experiments are conducted by factorial experimentation medium carbon steel AISI 1055 was machined using adhesive bonded tool and compared the performance with brazed tool. The cutting condition of turning parameters was determined by Design of experiment method to find the optimal levels and to analyze the effect on the turning parameters.
