Abstract:

AISI 403 stainless steel was used for the turning process in our research project. We conducted experiments with various process parameters, including cutting speed, depth of cut and feed to optimize the ideal values for cutting forces FX, FY, and RA. Using an L9 orthogonal array and optimizing output parameters, we studied the performance characteristics of turning with a CNMA120404 carbide insert with a 0.8mm nose radius. We employed the technique of Taguchi during CNC turning to optimize the effects of surface irregularity and cutting forces FX, FY. The use of AISI 403 stainless steel in manufacturing helps to minimize product costs. Our experimental analysis revealed that as speed increases, the total S/N ratio decreases while it increases with feed and cut depth. The optimized values of process factors, such as feed and cut depth, have the greatest influence on surface roughness after cutting speed.
