Design of Experiments Approach to Optimize Cutting Parameters for Tangential Cylindrical Grinding of AISI D3 Tool Steel
Main Article Content
Abstract
Utilizing the Taguchi approach, the research sought to determine the best cutting parameters for tangential cylindrical grinding of AISI D3 tool steel to minimize surface roughness. Throughout the experimental examination, surface roughness was observed at different wheel speeds, workpiece speeds, feed rates and depths. Surface roughness was studied using the Taguchi design of experiments and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the signal-to-noise ratio was used to identify key machining factors. The results showed that during cutting, surface roughness was significantly influenced by wheel speed and feed rate. This implies that surface quality in grinding processes can be efficiently controlled by varying these factors. Because the established grinding technique makes it possible to determine the ideal cutting settings for decreasing surface roughness, it has potential applications in the machining industries. This could result in tool steel machining procedures that are more productive and of higher quality.
