Study of Parametric Optimization of Microdrilling Operation using Taguchi Method

Abstract

Drilling is a very basic process of machining which is of great importance for the modern world and especially microdrilling plays an important role of it. Therefore optimization of the parameters that control the process of microdrilling is unavoidable to have the best results. In this paper the parametric optimization of microdrilling has been studied using Taguchi Method considering a number of parameters like cutting velocity, feed rate, cutting time, cutting pressure and the hole surface roughness etc. The objective is to study the effect of various factors and their optimization using Taguchi method. An overall study has been made across a number of journals along with the practical results to illustrate the process.
