Cellulose based hybrid composites are gaining popularity in the growing green communities. With extensive studies and increasing applications for future advancement, the need for an accurate and reliable guidance in machining this type of composites has increased enormously. Smooth and defect free machined surface are always the ultimate objectives. The present work deals with the study of machining parameters (i.e. spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and their effects on machining performance (i.e. surface roughness and delamination) to establish an optimized setup of machining parameters in achieving multi objective machining performance. Cellulose based hybrid composites consist of jute (a bast fiber) and glass fiber embedded in polyester resins. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was chosen as the design of experiment approach for this study. Based on that experimental approach, 17 experimental runs were conducted. Mathematical model for each response was developed based on the experimental data. Adequacy of the models were analyzed statistically using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in determining the significant input variables and possible interactions. The multi objective optimization was performed through numerical optimization, and the predicted results were validated. The agreement between the experimental and selected solution was found to be strong, between 95% to 96%, thus validating the solution as the optimal machining condition. The findings suggest that feed rate was the main factor affecting surface roughness and delamination .

In this research, the effect of machining parameters on the various surface roughness characteristics (arithmetic average roughness (Ra), root mean square average roughness (Rq) and average maximum height of the profile (Rz)) in the milling of AISI 4140 steel were experimentally investigated. Depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed and the number of insert were considered as control factors; Ra, Rz and Rq were considered as response factors. Experiments were designed considering Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Multi signal-to-noise ratio was calculated for the response variables simultaneously. Analysis of variance was conducted to detect the significance of control factors on responses. Moreover, the percent contributions of the control factors on the surface roughness were obtained to be the number of insert (71.89 %), feed (19.74 %), cutting speed (5.08%) and depth of cut (3.29 %). Minimum surface roughness values for Ra, Rz and Rq were obtained at 325 m/min cutting speed, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate, 1 number of insert and 1 mm depth of cut by using multi-objective Taguchi technique.

Polyetheretherketones (PEEK) have been widely used as biomaterials for trauma, orthopedics and spinal implants. However, machining of this material poses several challenges such as rough machined surface which can affect the implant functional application. This research attempts to optimize the machining parameter (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) for effectively machining Polyetheretherketones (PEEK) implant material using carbide cutting tools. Apart from optimizing machining parameters, effects of annealing condition on PEEK towards surface qualities are discuss. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) technique was used to evaluate the effects of the parameters and their interaction towards the ability of the optimum conditions. Based on the analysis results, the optimal machining parameter to obtain the smallest surface roughness values were by using spindle speed of 5754 rpm, feed rate of 0.026 mm/tooth and 5.11 mm depth of cut for un-annealed PEEK. As for the annealed PEEK to get the smallest surface roughness values were by using spindle speed of 5865 rpm, feed rate of 0.025 mm/tooth and 2 mm depth of cut.

The geometry to be machined has four rotational features: straight, taper, convex and concave, while a design of experiments was created through the Taguchi L25 orthogonal array experiments in minitab17 three factors with five Levels depth of cut (0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10 and 0.12) mm, spindle speed (1200, 1400, 1600, 1800 and 2000) r.p.m and feed rate (60, 70, 80, 90 and 100) mm/min. A multiple non-linear regression model has been used which is a set of statistical extrapolation processes to estimate the relationships input variables and output which the surface roughness which prediction outside the range of the data. According to the non-linear regression model, the optimum surface roughness can be obtained at 1800 rpm of spindle speed, feed-rate of 80 mm/min and depth of cut 0.04 mm then the best surface roughness comes out to be 0.04 μm at tapper feature at depth of cut 0.01 mm and same spindle speed and feed rate pervious which gives the error of 3.23% at evolution equation.

Stainless steels have gained much attention to be an alternative solution for many manufacturing industries due to their high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, owing to their high ductility, their low thermal conductivity and high tendency to work hardening, these materials are classed as materials difficult to machine. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to examine the effect of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the response parameters including surface roughness (Ra), tangential cutting force (Fz) and cutting power (Pc) during dry turning of AISI 316L using TiCN-TiN PVD cermet tool. As a methodology, the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array parameter design and response surface methodology (RSM)) have been used. Statistical analysis revealed feed rate affected for surface roughness (79.61%) and depth of cut impacted for tangential cutting force and cutting power (62.12% and 35.68%), respectively. According to optimization analysis based on desirability function (DF), cutting speed of 212.837 m/min, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate and 0.1 mm depth of cut were determined to acquire high machined part quality

The selection of optimum machining parameters plays a significant role for the quality characteristics of products and its costs for grinding. This study describes the optimization of the grinding process for an optimal parametric combination to yield a surface roughness using the Taguchi method. An orthogonal array and analysis of variance are employed to investigate the effects of cutting environment (A), depth of cut (B) and feed rate (C) on the surface roughness characteristics of mold steels. Confirmation experiments were conducted to verify the optimal testing parameters. The experimental results indicated that the surface finish decreased with cutting-fluid and depth of cut, but decreased with increasing feed rate. It is revealed that the cutting fluid environment had highest physical as well as statistical influence on the surface roughness (71.38%), followed by depth of cut (25.54%), but the least effect was exhibited by feed rate (1.62%).

The machining of aerospace materials, such as metal matrix composites, introduces an additional challenge compared with traditional machining operations because of the presence of a reinforcement phase (e.g. ceramic particles or whiskers). This reinforcement phase decreases the thermal conductivity of the workpiece, thus, increasing the tool interface temperature and, consequently, reducing the tool life. Determining the optimum machining parameters is vital to maximising tool life and producing parts with the desired quality. By measuring the surface finish, the authors investigated the influence that the three major cutting parameters (cutting speed (50–150 m/min), feed rate (0.10–0.30 mm/rev) and depth of cut (1.0–2.0 mm)) have on tool life. End milling of a boron carbide particle-reinforced aluminium alloy was conducted under dry cutting conditions. The main result showed that contrary to the expectations for traditional machined alloys, the surface finish of the metal matrix composite examined in this work generally improved with increasing feed rate. The resulting surface roughness (arithmetic average) varied between 1.15 and 5.64 μm, with the minimum surface roughness achieved with the machining conditions of a cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.30 mm/rev and depth of cut of 1.0 mm. Another important result was the presence of surface microcracks in all specimens examined by electron microscopy irrespective of the machining condition or surface roughness.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the effect of reinforced SiC particles on the machining of Aluminum/SiC composite (15% volume ratio of SiC particles with average grain size 15m). Aluminum/SiC composite and aluminum metal were milled by a tungsten carbide endmill in this study. Based on the surface observation and surface roughness inspection, it is found that the machining parameters of Aluminum/SiC composite have optimum values, and that the surface roughness of aluminum/SiC composite is smaller than that of aluminum metal. when feedrate and depth of cut are smaller than limited values, satisfactory surface finish can be attainable, however, as the depth of cut and feedrate increases, the microcracks are first initiated at the interface of SiC particles and aluminum matrix, and then periodically macrocracks are formed on the machined surface, The damage mechanism during the machining of aluminum/SiC are discussed in this paper.

Cutting fluid plays an important role in machining processes to achieve dimensional accuracy in reducing tool wear and improving the tool life. Conventional flood cooling method in machining processes is not cost effective and consumption of huge amount of cutting fluids is not healthy and environmental friendly. In micromachining, flood cooling is not recommended to avoid possible damage of the microstructures. Therefore, one of the alternatives to overcome the environmental issues to use minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) in machining process. MQL is eco-friendly and has economical advantage on manufacturing cost. However, there observed lack of study on MQL in improving machined surface roughness in micromilling. Study of the effects of MQL on surface roughness should be carried out because surface roughness is one of the important issues in micromachined parts such as microfluidic channels. This paper investigates and compares surface roughness with the presence of MQL and dry cutting in micromilling of aluminium alloy 1100 using DT-110 milling machine. The relationship among depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed on surface roughness is also analyzed. All three machining parameters identified as significant for surface roughness with dry cutting which are depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed. For surface roughness with MQL, it is found that spindle speed did not give much influence on surface roughness. The presence of MQL provides a better surface roughness by decreasing the friction between tool and workpiece.

This paper examined the effect of machining parameters on surface roughness of medium density fiberboard (MDF) machined using a computer numerical control (CNC) router. The machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and tool diameter were examined for milling. The experiments were conducted at two levels of spindle speeds, four levels of feed rates, two levels of tool diameters, and two levels of axial depths of cut. The surface roughness values of MDF grooved by CNC were measured with stylus-type equipment. Statistical methods were used to determine the effectiveness of the machining parameters on surface roughness. The influence of each milling parameter affecting surface roughness was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significant machining parameters affecting the surface roughness were the feed rate, spindle speed, and tool diameter (p < 0.05). There was no significant influence of axial depth of cut on the surface roughness. The surface roughness decreased with increasing spindle speed and decreasing feed rate. The value of surface roughness increased with the increase of tool diameter.
