Effect of Machining Parameters and Machining Time on Surface Roughness in Dry Turning Process

The most important measures of surface quality during the machining process is the average surface roughness (Ra), and it is mostly caused by many machining parameters, such as true rake angle and side cutting edge angle, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, nose radius, machining time etc. This paper a model of surface roughness was developed based on the response surface method to investigates the machining parameters such as feed rate, tool geometry, nose radius, and machining time, affecting the roughness of surface produced in dry turning process. The experiment has been designed and carried out on the basis of a three level factorial design. Obtained results are in good accordance with the published results in the field, validating the effectiveness of regression analysis in modeling of surface roughness in dry turning process.
