Optimization of Process Parameters of Rotary Ultrasonic Machining Based on Taguchi's Method

摘要

In this Research, Taguchi optimization methodology is used to optimize Rotary Ultrasonic Machining (RUM) parameters for face milling of zirconia ceramic. The influence of the RUM parameters such as vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on cutting force and material removal rate (MRR) is studied. A three-level orthogonal array table is used to determine the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios based on Taguchi's design of experiments. Furthermore, analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been performed to study the relative significance of the different factors on cutting force and MRR of zirconia ceramic. Finally, verification tests were carried out to compare the predicted values of the outputs with their experimental values in order to confirm the effectiveness of the Taguchi Optimization.
