Optimization and evaluation of dry and minimum quantity lubricating methods on machinability of AISI 4140 using Taguchi design and ANOVA

Abstract

<jats:p> In this work, it is aimed to study the effects of dry machining and minimum quantity lubrication application on machinability in turning AISI 4140 steel by utilizing different cutting parameters. Also, this study contains effects and optimization of cutting conditions (dry and minimum quantity lubricating), feed rate, and cutting speed on surface roughness (Ra) and main cutting forces (Fc) determined by employing the Taguchi method. At the end of experiments, it was established that compared to dry machining operations, minimum quantity lubricating significantly reduced cutting tool wear, while Fc and Ra decreased in general. Analyses of variance, regression analysis, signal-to-noise ratio, and orthogonal array were employed to analyze the effects and contributions of independent variables on dependent variables. The optimum levels of the dependent variables for reducing Fc and Ra using signal-to-noise rates were established. According to signal-to-noise ratios, minimum quantity lubricating had a more important effect on Fc and Ra than dry machining. The optimal conditions for Fc and Ra were at 0.16 mm/rev feed rate, 125 m/min cutting speed at minimum quantity lubricating. Analysis of variance results demonstrated that the feed rate is the most influential independent variable on Fc (93.976 %) and Ra (89.352 %). Validation test results exhibited that the Taguchi method and regression analysis were highly achieved methods in the optimization of independent variables for dependent variables. Taguchi optimization technique and regression analysis obtained from Fc ([Formula: see text] = 0.972 and [Formula: see text] = 0.997) and Ra ([Formula: see text] = 0.985 and [Formula: see text] = 0.996) measurements match really well with the experimental data. </jats:p>

Measurement and analysis of sustainable indicators in machining of Armox 500T armor steel

“…In this paper, variance analysis, according to more commonly known name ANOVA, was used to evaluate the statistical importance and contribution rate on the output parameters. 82 The analysis was performed using Minitab software. A detailed explanation about the procedure of the practice of this method was given in the previous works of the author.…”

Optimization of process parameters of medium carbon steel joints joined by MIG welding using Taguchi method

“…The Taguchi method is an optimization method and experimental design based on factor design, tolerance design and system design. In addition, it is used to determine the optimal parameters from different levels [4,9,[28][29][30][31][32]. In the manufacturing industry, the time required for the product can be reduced by using the Taguchi method, thus reducing the costs and in-creasing the profit rate of the business.…”

Optimization of Welding Parameters of AISI 431 and AISI 1020 Joints Joined by Friction Welding Using Taguchi Method

“…Regression analyses are carried out to analyse and model different variables that have a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables (one or more) [26,27,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. In this study, equations were found by regression analysis for the estimation of axial shortening and tensile strength.…”
