Optimization of CNC machining process parameters for AA2014/WC composite

Abstract

In this developed environment, most of the machineries and automobile parts are manufactured by using CNC machines. The working process for these requirements is common facing, turning, milling and so on. Of these surface roughness plays an important role. Since the strength and stability of the materials depends on the operation in which it undergoes on. The Taguchi method is adopted to reduce work effort. This method replaces the work of turning to minimize the surface roughness (SR). The goal of this analysis is to optimize the effects of machining parameters of CNC turning machine for the Aluminium Alloy AA2014+12%WC with response of SR through using Taguchi approach.
