    Experimental studies on turning of discontinuously reinforced aluminium composites under dry, oil water emulsion and steam lubricated conditions using TAGUCHI's technique
    (Gazi University Eti Mahallesi, 2009) Shetty, R.; Pai B, R.B.; Rao, S.S.
    This paper reports on the experimental investigations carried out under dry, oil water emulsion and steam lubricated conditions in turning of DRACs. The measured results were then collected and analyzed with the help of the commercial software package MINITAB15. The experiments were planned on orthogonal arrays, made with prefixed cutting parameters and different lubricated conditions. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to check tho validity of the proposed parameters and also their percentage contributions. The results of the tests show that with proper selection of the range of cutting parameters, it is possible to obtain better performance under steam lubricated condition.

    Taguchi's technique in machining of metal matrix composites
    (Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, 2009) Shetty, R.; Pai B, R.B.; Rao, S.S.; Nayak, R.
    This paper presents the study on Taguchi's optimization methodology, which is applied to optimize cutting parameters in turning of age hardened Al6061-15% vol. SiC 25 ?m particle size metal matrix composites with Cubic boron nitride inserts (CBN) KB-90 grade using steam as cutting fluid. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to study the effect of process parameters on the machining process. This procedure eliminates the need for repeated experiments, time and conserves the material by the conventional procedure. The turning parameters evaluated are speed, feed, depth of cut, nozzle diameter and steam pressure. A series of experiments are conducted using PSG A141 lathe (2.2 KW) to relate the cutting parameters on surface roughness, tool wear, cutting force, feed force, and thrust force. The measured results were collected and analyzed with the help of the commercial software package MINITAB15. As well, an orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio is employed to analyze the influence of these parameters. The method could be useful in predicting surface roughness, tool wear, cutting force, feed force and thrust force as a function of cutting parameters. From the analysis using Taguchi's method, results indicate that among the all-significant parameters, steam pressure is the most significant parameter. © 2009 by ABCM.
