Abstract The most important process parameter for the manufacturing done by CNC now a days is the surface roughness (SR) and material removal rate (MRR). To maintain good quality of products surface finish plays vital role and MRR helps to increase production. Surface roughness and material removal rate is one of the important quality control parameter for evaluating of production process. Efficient turned component improves many functional attribute like excellent tolerance, less tool wear, fatigue strength, load bearing capacity, corrosion strength and contact friction etc. To achieve mentioned attributes, opting for CNC machine tool is the best choice for increase the productivity in terms of reduced machining time and …show more content…

A surface manufactured by cutting processes is one of the most important criteria for quality. Surface roughness is a significant factor which is not only important for wear, friction and lubrication, which became traditional for tribology, but it is also important for sealing, hydrodynamic, electric, heat transfer. Surface roughness depends on many variables, such as material couple, manufacturing type, cutting conditions, etc. Surface roughness is one of the most important characteristic variables to be monitored in the cutting processes owing to the direct relation between the change of surface roughness and the cutting conditions. For many years, it has been recognized that the conditions during machining, such as Cutting Speed, Feed and Depth of Cut (DOC), should be selected to optimize the economics of the machining operations. Manufacturing industries in developing countries suffer from a major drawback of not running the machine at their optimal operating conditions. Machining industries are dependent on the experiences and skills of the machine tool operators for the optimal selection of cutting conditions. In machining industries, the practices of using hand book-based conservative cutting conditions are in progress at the process of the planning level. The disadvantage of this unscientific practice is the decrease of productivity due to the sub optimal use …show more content…

Adinarayana, et al. [1] studied optimization of power consumption in turning operations using CVD cutting tool on AISI 4340 Alloy Steel with speed, feed and depth of cut as a control parameters. Result obtained was, power consumption is increase with increase in cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut.
R. Suresh, et al.[2] studied that performance of multilayer hard coatings (TiC/TiCN/Al2O3) on cemented carbide substrate using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for machining of hardened AISI 4340 steel using Taguchi approach in turning process by cutting speed, feed and depth of cut as a controlled factor and power consumption as performance measure. Result found was cutting speed has the highest influence on the machining power required to perform machining operation (77.67%) followed by feed rate (17.39%) and depth of cut (2.82%). Mr. Manoj Kumar Sahoo [3] reported the optimization of turning process by the effects of machining parameters applying Taguchi methods. Three machining parameters i.e., Spindle speed, Feed rate and Depth of cut. Experiments were done by varying one parameter and keeping other two fixed so maximum value of each parameter was obtained. Taguchi orthogonal array is designed with three levels of turning parameters with the help of software Minitab
