Comparison of Steel, Cast Iron and Aluminum when subjected to HSS tool on Vertical Milling Machine using Taguchi Method

摘要

This work involves the experimental analysis of three materials i.e Cast iron, Mild steel, and aluminum. The experiment is conducted under three different cutting parameters, the feed rate, the depth, and the spindle speed. The cutting tool which is taken is HSS. The parameters setting in this experiment was done using the Taguchi method. The importance of tool life in machining was found out by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The exact combination of machining parameters was obtained by signal-to-noise ratio (SN/Ratio). From the results we conclude that the spindle speed had the most significant effect on tool life followed by feed and depth of cut. Here we obtain the relation between the tool life and cutting parameters.
