Abstract
This investigation concerns the cutting force magnitude during turning of AISI D6 tool steel using both Taguchi Experimental Design (TED) and full factorial design (FFD). Three main cutting parameters namely spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut were considered as the cutting parameters, each one having three levels, while the cutting force (Fc) was selected as the machinability process output. The full factorial design of the 27 (33) experiments was splitted in three sub-arrays, each one having 9 experiments. These three sub-arrays were orthogonal and were treated as Taguchi L9 orthogonal arrays. The performance of the FFD and each TED was analysed using stem-and-leaf plots, box plots, as well as analysis of means (ANOM) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results obtained indicate the suitability of all proposed experimental designs for machinability studies.
