Abstract

In this work, cutting parameters in a lathe turning operation were modelled to enhance surface finish quality of AISI1020 mild steel work-piece. The effect of cutting speed of the lathe turning operation on the rate of material removal and surface roughness of AISI1020 mild steel was analyzed. The amount of feed input on the material removal rate and surface roughness of AISI1020 mild steel was evaluated. Ultimately, an optimal matching cutting parameter for lathe turning operation that enhanced the surface finish quality of AISI1020 mild steel was generated. Employing the application of ANSYS, finite element and Johnson cook flow stress were utilized to get the near. The Taguchi’s robust design was used for optimizing turning parameters on AISI1020 mild steel. Experiments were conducted using L9 orthogonal array and for each experiment, surface roughness was measured, recorded and analyzed using Taguchi S/N ratios. These ratios were calculated with consideration of performance characteristic: Lower-the- Better, as surface roughness is requested to be low. Result showed that surface roughness is mainly affected by depth of cut followed by cutting speed and feed rate respectively, therefore, it is crucial to consider the effects of interactions between other cutting parameters such as the cutting tool nose radius and rake angle and surface roughness in future research, for quality surface finish in lathe turning operations. Recommendations were made that finite element modelling could yield a reduction in overall machining costs and saves time as it predicts the optimal machining parameters for quality work-piece.
