Optimization of Surface Grinding Process Parameters for Minimum Surface Roughness in AISI 1080 Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract

In this study, the response surface methodology was used to optimize the process parameters of constant speed horizontal spindle surface grinding. The experiments were conducted based on the design expert software. The surface roughness characteristics were investigated in AISI 1080 steel plates using A60V5V grinding wheels. The optimum parameters for minimum surface roughness were found using Design Expert software. The parameters for a particular surface roughness value can also be determined using the results of this experiment. This results shows that feed has a greater effect on surface roughness and feed has medium effect on surface roughness. While dressing depth of cut has a very minimal effect on surface roughness.
