The aim of this study is to determine the optimal combination of process parameters when machining commercially pure titanium grade 2. The unification of Multi objective optimization based on ratio analysis (MOORA) and fuzzy approach has applied to optimize the process parameters. Three process parameters i.e. cutting speed, tool overhang, and microhardness have been varied at three levels each and a total of twenty seven experiments have been conducted based on Taguchi’s L27 design of experiment technique. Cutting force, tool flank wear, and average surface roughness have been considered a machinability indicators to measure the process performance. Feed rate and depth of cut have been kept constant. Successful optimization is done and results show that machining titanium at higher cutting speed (140 m/min) and higher tool overhang length (65 mm) with medium hardness (1934 HV) results in lower cutting force, tool flank wear, and surface roughness. Outcomes of the present work reveal that the hybrid fuzzy-MOORA method is convincing enough to obtain the best process parameter combination for the best machinability while machining titanium type difficult-to-machine materials.

In this study, an attempt is made to examine the machining response parameters in turning of AISI 1040 steel under different lubrication environment. Subsequently, design of experiment technique Response surface methodology (RSM) is used for analyzing machining performance by varying cutting conditions with the use of 2wt% of CNT/MoS2(1:2) HNCF. Regression models are developed for multiple machining responses. Optimization is performed for these models by using desirability function, which converts multi-objective into single objective. Then the optimal setting parameters for single objective is found. Significant reduction in main cutting force (Fz), cutting temperature (T), surface roughness(Ra) and tool flank wear (Vb) are found with the use of 2wt% of CNT/MoS2(1:2) HNCF compared to other lubrication environment. Significant factors that affect the main cutting force (Fz), the temperature in the cutting zone are cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Parameter depth of cut has an insignificant effect on tool flank wear and surface roughness (Ra). The optimal cutting conditions for four multi-objective optimization of main cutting force (Fz), cutting temperature, surface roughness (Ra) and tool flank wear are found to be cutting speed 70.25 m/min, feed 0.13 mm/rev and doc 0.5mm at desirability value of 0.907.

Extensive researchers have conducted several experiments in the past for selecting the optimum parameters in machining nickel based alloy – Inconel 718. These experiments conducted so far are dealt with dry machining and flooded coolant machining of nickel alloy Inconel 718. In this research study, the usage of refrigerated coolant is also dealt with and it is compared with dry machining and flooded coolant machining. Cutting speed, feed and depth of cut are considered as the machining parameters. The effectiveness of the refrigerated coolant in machining the heat resistant super alloy material Inconel 718 with respect to these machining parameters are described in this article. The machinability studies parameters were generated with surface roughness and flank wear. The performance of uncoated carbide cutting tool was investigated at various cutting condition under dry, flooded coolant and refrigerated coolant machining.

Taguchi design methodology is applied to experiments of flank mill machining parameters of titanium alloy TC11 (Ti6.5A13.5Mo2Zr0.35Si) in conventional and high speed regimes. This study includes three factors, cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, about two types of tools. Experimental runs are conducted using an orthogonal array of L9(33), with measurement of cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness. The analysis of result shows that the factors combination for good surface roughness, low cutting temperature and low resultant cutting force are high cutting speed, low feed rate and low depth of cut.


Manufacturing a defect free (quality) product is playing a vital role in today’s globally competitive, customer oriented era. Meeting the demand of the market by producing sufficient quantity is another challenge. Achieving greater production rates without compromising on quality, increases the complexity of the task. Adopting modern manufacturing methods like CNC turning are essential to meet the above requirements. EN19 is an important member in the family of alloy steels, which has a wide variety of applications in automobile and machine tool industries. Optimization of machining parameters is crucial in obtaining the required outputs such as quality and productivity. In this work, optimization of CNC turning parameters for machining EN19 alloy steel is performed. The number of experiments was designed using face centred central composite based response surface methodology with varied independent process parameters namely cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. After designing the experiments, the performance measures such as surface roughness of the test samples and Material Removal Rate (MRR) is calculated using the existing formulae. The influence of parameters on MRR and surface roughness are determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and for significance interactions of the process parameters are also considered. Using MINITAB 17 software analysis is performed. Further, regression analysis has been done and second order mathematical model is obtained. Using desirability approach, optimization is carried out.

The present study addresses the machinability investigation in finish dry hard turning of high strength low alloy steel with coated ceramic tool by considering cutting speed, feed and depth of cut as machining parameters. The technological parameters like surface roughness, flank wear, chip morphology and economical feasibility have been considered to investigate the machinability performances. Twenty seven set of trials according to full factorial design of experiments are performed and analysis of variance, multiple regression method, Taguchi method, desirability function approach and finally Gilbert’s approach are subsequently applied for parametric influence study, mathematical modeling, multi-response optimization, tool life estimation and economic analysis. Results indicated that feed and cutting speed are the most significant controlled as well as dominant factors for hard turning operation if the minimization of the machined surface roughness and tool flank wear is considered. Abrasions, adhesion followed by plastic deformation have been observed to be the principal wear mechanism for tool life estimation and observed tool life for coated ceramic insert is 47[Formula: see text]min under optimum cutting conditions. The total machining cost per part is ensued to be lower ($0.29 only) as a consequence of higher tool life, reduction in downtime and enhancement in savings, which finds economical benefits in hard turning. The current work demonstrates the substitution of conventional, expensive and slow cylindrical grinding process, and proposes the most expensive CBN tool alternative using coated ceramic tools in hard turning process considering techno-economical and ecological aspects.

Machining process such as milling receives less attention in the study of machinability of composites due to its interrupted cutting and the complexity of the process. In the present study, A356 aluminium alloy powder reinforced with 10 volume % SiC particles of various sizes (1,12.5 and 25 µm) were synthesized by vacuum hot pressing method and the effect of particle size on the composites were analysed for its mechanical properties and machinability. End milling of these composites were carried out and the surface roughness and resultant cutting force were analysed with the change of machining parameters and varying SiC particle sizes. The minimum cutting force and surface roughness were obtained for a finer particle (1 µm) reinforced composite with higher cutting speed, low feed and depth of cut.

This paper presents an investigation into the minimum quantity lubrication mode with nano fluid during turning of alloy steel AISI 4340 work piece material with the objective of experimental model in order to predict surface roughness and cutting force and analyze effect of process parameters on machinability. Full factorial design matrix was used for experimental plan. According to design of experiment surface roughness and cutting force were measured. The relationship between the response variables and the process parameters is determined through the response surface methodology, using a quadratic regression model. Results show how much surface roughness is mainly influenced by feed rate and cutting speed. The depth of cut exhibits maximum influence on cutting force components as compared to the feed rate and cutting speed. The values predicted from the model and experimental values are very close to each other.

A multi-response optimization is a popular tool in many economic, managerial, constructional, manufacturing, process design, product design technologies, machinery and system, devices, process parameters etc. This research paper demonstrates the application of a simple multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis (MOORA) method to solve the multi-criteria (objective) optimization problem in the machining process. In this paper, the chip-tool interface temperature, main cutting force, and tool wear rate were investigated in various machining conditions in turning operations. Various machining parameters, such as the cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut and effective tool inserts nose radius, were considered. Composite factorial design (24+8) was used for experimentation. Multiple response values were obtained using actual experimentation. By using these experiments, two different methods were proposed. Machining parameters were optimized by minimizing chip-tool interface temperatures, tool wear rate, and main cutting force during machining of alloy steel. The results obtained using the MOORA method almost agree with the grey relational analysis method which shows the authenticate applicability, potentiality, and flexibility of MOORA method for solving various complex decision-making problems in present-day manufacturing industries.
