Introduction:
Optimization of machining parameters is essential for improving expected outcome of any machining operation.
Case Description:
The aim of this work is to find out optimum values of machining parameters to achieve minimal surface roughness during milling operation of GFRP.
Discussion And Evaluation:
In this machining operation speed, depth of cut and feed rate are considered as parameters affecting surface roughness and Design of Experiment (DOE)-Taguchi method tool is used to plan experiments and analyse results.
Conclusion:
Analysis of experimental results presents optimum values of these three parameters to achieve minimal surface roughness with speed as a major contributing factor. Speed-200 rpm, depth of cut-1.2 mm and feed-40 mm/min are an optimal combination of machining parameter to produce minimal surface roughness during milling of GFRP.
