Abstract
A CNC dry milling experiment was conducted for the machining parameter optimization of two grades of Martensitic Stainless steel (MSS). Optimization is done by employing Taguchi method (S/N ratio and ANOVA). The specimens used are MSS grades 410 and 420.The experiments were designed by employing L9 orthogonal array for 3 levels of feed and spindle speeds. The impact of these parameters on cutting force was analyzed. The analysis reveals that spindle speed constitute the maximum impact on cutting force for both MSS grades. Optimum cutting parameters are obtained at 30 mm/min (feed rate) and 1500 rpm (spindle speed). Due to higher Chromium and Carbon content in AISI 420 MSS resulted higher cutting force values compared with AISI 410 MSS. Optimum values of cutting parameters are estimated for improving productivity and quality. The predicted values at optimal conditions are estimated. The results indicate a good conformity with the outcome of experiment.
