Optimization of Machining Parameters for the Turning Process of AISI 316 L Stainless Steel and Taguchi Design

In this study the effect of feed rate, depth of cut and cooling system on surface roughness and cutting force during machine turning of AISI 316L stainless steel is investigated.The Taguchi method was used for optimization of machine turning.Furthermore, variance analysis was performed to determine the effect of each parameter on the results.As a result of this analysis, the effect of feed rate, depth of cut and cooling system on surface roughness and cutting force during machine turning of AISI 316L stainless steel was determined.Consequently, the ANOVA method was used to determine optimal parameter levels.
