Abstract In this study, the author use the experimental design method to determine the relation between cutting parameters and surface roughness in lathe processing. The machine lathe model T620 with ceramic cutting tool is used to cutting C45 carbon steel samples which is widely using for machining process. The requirement for qualified worker is medium. The cutting parameters: cutting velocity (v), feed rate(s) are change while the cutting depth is 0.5mm. The surface roughness of specimens are measured by handle surface roughness machine Mitutoyo SJ-310 model. By using Box Hunter experimental design method, the equation of regression is determined. Thanks to this equation, the optimum cutting parameters is find out.

Keywords Surface roughness; cutting parameters; carbon steel C45; optimum parameters; Box Hunter experimental design.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Cutting parameters: cutting velocity (v), feed rate (s) and the cutting depth (t) are important factors of cutting process [1], [2]. Cutting parameters effect on productive, costly and surface quality. The productivity is high with rough cutting

    regression equation that show the relationship between surface roughness and cutting parameters. The advantage of this method is that the number of experiments is smaller than the traditional method, and the results are highly reliable.

  2. THEORY

    Experimental design method was proposed in 1935 by statistician Ronal Fisher and continued to be researched and developed by George Edward Pelham Box and Genichi Taguchi. This method relies on regression modeling and graphical analysis to optimize experimental models using algorithms. The goal is to find out relationship between the set of input parameters and the value of output parameters.

    In this study, a second-order Box – Hunter design rotation method [7], [8] was used. Due to the rotation properties, the accuracy of the regression equation is equal in all points of the element of design space, at an equal distance from the planning center. The combination between the evenness and rotation mean that the variance is constant in a certain region from the planning center. The accuracy increases, when the value of cutting parameter near to the planning center. Therefore, we must adjust the input values close to planning center.

    mode but surface quality is low. In contrast, finishing cutting mode bring out high surface roughness and low productivity [3], [4]. Therefore, determination of optimal cutting parameters is important mission of cutting process [5]. The simple method is using technology handbook [6], to find out the optimum parameters corresponding with material and requirement of surface quality. This method is simple but productivity is low. Because the technology handbooks [9]

    were built by statistical methods, conducting test cutting on a series of samples and summarize into tables. Methods of analysis and experimental design [7], [8] were born based on the use of algorithms to process data, so the results are highly accurate and reliable with a small number of experiments. In

    A. Model of experiment

    The sample was used in this study is hot rolled cylindrical solid round, diameter Ø50mm, steel grade C45.

    Ceramic-piece turning tools are used because of the advantages of processing high-hardness materials, or materials after heat treatment without cool water, high-gloss surfaces, easy to replace cutting tools during machining.

    The cutting velocity is selected in the range of 60 – 100 m/min, this is a large cutting velocity zone and surpassing built up edge (BUE) area [5] so it is easy to achieve surface gloss. The feed rate is chosen at a relatively small area from

    0.023 to 0.06 mm/revolution to increase surface gloss.

    In order to carry out experimental design method, the real variables v, s, t must be converted into virtual variables x0, x1, x2.

    Recalculating the coefficients bi:

    Because the experimental design method is not

    orthogonal, when value of bi is excluded, we have to

    recalculate the significant coefficients according to the least square method:

    G.B XT .Y

    Replacing the meaningful coefficients bi into the equation above, the unmeaningful coefficient is considered as zero. We obtain the system of equations.:

    The graph in Fig. 5 shows the relationship between surface roughness (Ra) and cutting parameterss (v, s), when we machine samples on lathe T620, with the cutting depth t = 0.5mm. It is easy to see that the surface roughness Ra decreases as feed rate (s) decreases, but there is a sign of increase again when s <0.025 mm/revolution [6].

    Figure 5. Graph of correlation between surface roughness and cutting mode

    Because, when the feed rate decreases, the surface roughness decreases. However, if the feed rate is too small, the nose radius affects the roughness, causing the surface roughness to increase [9]. Surface roughness decreases as the cutting velocity increases from 60 m/min to 85 m/min. Beside, surface roughness increases when the cutting velocity is greater than 85m/min.

    Figure 6. The graph determines the optimal cutting parameters

    Hunter 02 elements, this study has determined the relationship between surface roughness (Ra) and cutting parameters, namely cutting velocity (v) and feed rate (s) with machining conditions: machine lathe T620, C45 carbon steel samples, ceramic piece cutting tool. With the regression equation achieved, it is easy to choose the optimal parameters for the cutting process, serving the task design as well as automating the production process. The experimental design method allows us to accurately determine the regression equation with the number of experiments performed much less than the traditional method, which in turn changes the cutting parameters v, s, t to find out regression equation.
