Optimization of Process Parameters in Turning Operation - A Review

Turning is the course of action in which a single point cutting tool removes needless material from the surface of a spinning cylindrical work piece This review paper discuss development in literature on optimisation of process parameters in turning action by studying the influence of different process parameters. The purpose of turning operation is to bring into being low surface roughness of the parts. There are three parameter which are studied, namely fee , depth of cut and spindle speed for the optimization and minimization of the surface roughness. To optimize the process parameters it’s needed to determine which parameters are most important for required output because these quality features are highly linked and are expected to be subjective directly or in some way by the direct effect of process parameters. Optimization of surface roughness of turning is a multi-factor, multi objective optimization problem.
