Investigation of Process Parameterson Material Removal Rate in Conventional Turning of Al 2014 Alloy by RSM Box-Behnken Experimental Design Array
Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of machining parameters viz spindle speed, rate of feed and depth of cut, on the material removal rate (MRR) in conventional turning operation of Aluminum 2014 alloy specimen using HSS tool by response surface methodology (RSM) where the experimental plan was obtained by the Box-Behnken design criterion. Raw Al-2014 specimen initially 100 mm long and 32 mm in diameter was fed into the multi-operating four jaw chuck lathe machine and 15 identical samples were obtained for further study. Three levels were considered for each of the control factors for experimental & subsequent analysis. It was reported that the MRR was significantly influenced by the chosen control parameters (or factors) of speed, feed & depth of cut. For the present case the optimal MRR, pertaining to the larger the best criterion, was obtained at spindle speed of 710 rpm, feed rate of 0.315mm/rev and depth of cut of 0.4 mm.
