Abstract

The general manufacturing problem can be described as the achievement of a predefined product quality with given equipment, cost and time constraints. Unfortunately, for some quality characteristics of a product such as surface roughness it is hard to ensure that these requirements will be met. Stainless steels STS 304 is frequently used as shaft materials in small fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) fishing boats. In this work, the dry turning parameters of STS 304 are optimized by using Taguchi method. The experiments were conducted at three different cutting speeds with three different feed and three different depth of cut. The cutting parameters are optimized using signal to noise ratio and the analysis of variance. The effects of cutting speed and feed on surface roughness was analyzed. The results revealed that the spindle speed is the more significant parameter influencing the surface roughness.
