Optimization of Milling Parameters Using Taguchi Method
Abstract
This paper discusses the use of Taguchi technique for minimizing the surface roughness in machining Aluminium 6061 alloy with carbide tool. The experimental study was carried out in a CNC vertical machining centre (VMC). The experiments have been planned using Taguchi’s experimental design technique. The machining parameters used are Depth of cut (doc), Spindle speed (N), and Feed rate (f). The effect of machining parameters on surface roughness is evaluated and the optimum cutting condition for minimizing the surface roughness is determined. The predicted values are confirmed by using validation experiments.
