Milling is one of the commonly used processes in machining industry. In this experimental work, slab milling operation has been performed on cast iron blocks to obtain suitable machining parameters in order to get low surface roughness, low vibration and high material removal rate. Experimental design has been considered according to the Taguchi’s L25 OA series. Taguchi’s signal to noise (S/N) ratio and composite desirability of response surface methodology (RSM) have been utilized to get optimum combination of machining parameters corresponding to low surface roughness, high material removal rate (MRR) and low vibration. Feed is found to have maximum influence on surface roughness, MRR and vibration within the domain of this experimental investigation.

Abstract


Milling is one of the commonly used processes in machining industry. In this experimental work, slab milling operation has been performed on cast iron blocks to obtain suitable machining parameters in order to get low surface roughness, low vibration and high material removal rate. Experimental design has been considered according to the Taguchi’s L25 OA series. Taguchi’s signal to noise (S/N) ratio and composite desirability of response surface methodology (RSM) have been utilized to get optimum combination of machining parameters corresponding to low surface roughness, high material removal rate (MRR) and low vibration. Feed is found to have maximum influence on surface roughness, MRR and vibration within the domain of this experimental investigation.
