Abstract
In the present machine edge, surface roughness on the job is one of the primary goals of manufacturing industry especially, where the parts are either subjected to fatigue loading or require precision fits. The purpose of this study is to find out the optimum surface roughness in turning operation of AISI 1045 Steel with Tungsten carbide cutting tool through Taguchi technique. A L9 orthogonal array, S/N ratios and ANOVA are used with cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut as turning parameters and with surface roughness as response variable. The result of the study show that the feed rate is the most influencing parameter out of the three parameters under study followed by cutting speed and depth of cut has less significant. Finally, the results are further confirmed by confirmation run.
