Statistical Analysis of Factors Effecting Surface Finish in Plain Milling

Siva Prasad Kondapalli

Abstract


Now a day’s research over improvement of surface finish on mechanical elements has become quite significant in the operational and aesthetical point of view. To enhance accuracy and precision, manufacturing firms are adopting automated systems in order to achieve manufacturing excellence. In the present work the effect of various process parameters like spindle speed, feed, and depth of cut on the surface finish in plain milling process is investigated by using Response Surface Method. Experiments are performed as per Box Behnken Design matrix for three factors and three levels. The coefficients are calculated by using regression analysis and the model is constructed. The adequacy of the developed model is checked using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique. By using the mathematical model the main and interaction effect of various process parameters on surface finish are studied.
