Optimization of hot-machining using taguchi method

Abstract

The production of exotic and smart materials has become highly in dispensable to satisfy the robust design requirements for aerospace and defense sector. The machining of these materials has posed a great challenge in industries. In this study, work piece is softened by heating and thereby shear strength is reduced. The work piece used in this process is Ni hard material, from this experiment the cutting force and the tool wear is calculated. The work piece was heated at different temperatures, and the power was calculated using an ammeter and voltmeter. The cutting force was eventually developed using the power used and the cutting velocity.
