Experimental investigation of Material removal rate in CNC turning using Taguchi method

Machining of medium Brass alloy is very difficult. There are a number of parameters like cutting speed, feed and depth of cut etc. which must be given consideration during the machining of medium Brass alloy. This study investigates the effects of process parameters on Material Removal Rate (MRR) in turning of C34000. The single response optimization problems i.e. optimization of MRR is solved by using Taguchi method. The optimization of MRR is done using twenty seven experimental runs based on L’27 orthogonal array of the Taguchi method are performed to derive objective functions to be optimized within the experimental domain When the MRR is optimized alone the MRR comes out to be 8.91. The optimum levels of process parameters for simultaneous optimization of MRR have been identified. Optimal results were verified through confirmation experiments.
