Abstract:
The manufacturing industries specially are focusing their attention on dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The important goal in the modern industries is to manufacture the products with lower cost and high quality in short span of time. There are two main practical problems that engineers face in a manufacturing process. The first is to determine the values of the process parameters that will yield the desired product quality, in other words attaining the technical requirements. And the second one is to maximize the manufacturing system performance using the available resource. For many researchers the term metal matrix composite (MMC) is often equated with the term light metal matrix (LMC) because of their strength to weight ratio. This paper presents the influence of process parameters like cutting speed, feed and depth of cut on surface roughness (Ra) in turning Al/SiCp metal matrix composites using carbide insert. The experiments have been conducted based on Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The optimal parametric combination for surface roughness was found. Mathematical models for surface roughness found to be statistically significant.
