Abstract

In the present experimental study, Taguchi method and the GRA (grey relation analysis) technique were used to optimize a multi-objective metal cutting process to yield maximum performance of tungsten carbide-cobalt cutting tool inserts in turning. L18 orthogonal array was selected to analyze the effect of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using cryogenically treated and untreated inserts. The performance was evaluated in terms of main cutting force, power consumption, tool wear and material removal rate using main effect plots of S/N (signal to noise) ratios. This study indicated that grey based Taguchi technique is not only a novel, efficient and reliable method of optimization, but also contributes to satisfactory solution for multi machining objectives in turning process. It is concluded that cryogenic treated cutting tool inserts performed better. However, the feed rate affected the process performance most significantly.
