Abstract
In process planning or NC part programming, optimal cutting conditions are to be determined using reliable mathematical models representing the machining conditions of a particular work-tool combination. The development of such mathematical models requires detailed planning and proper analysis of experiments. In this paper, the mathematical models for TiN-coated carbide tools and Rochling T4 medium carbon steel were developed based on the design and analysis of machining experiments. The models developed were then used in the formulation of objective and constraint functions for the optimization of a multipass turning operation with such work-tool combinations.
Keywords: Machining Operation (turning); Surface Roughness; Lathes Machines and Mathematical Model

Introduction
In a machining process, roughing operation plays an important role in reducing a particular work piece from the original stock to the desired shape and size. In order to achieve the economic objective of this process, optimal cutting conditions have to be determined. Although one can determine the desirable cutting conditions for roughing based on experience or handbook data, it does not ensure that the data obtained will be optimal or near optimal for that particular machine setting and environment. In order to determine the optimal cutting conditions, reliable mathematical models need to be established. To ensure the effectiveness of the models, the design of experimental technique should be used to plan the machining experiments efficiently and multiple regression methods can then be used for the particular work-tool combination based on the machining data collected on a specific machine. After developing the mathematical models, the analysis of variance will then be applied to check the adequacy of each mathematical model and their respective parameters. One can then use the mathematical models developed to formulate the objective function and the process constraints for optimization based on a certain preselected economic criterion.
The main objectives of this work are: (a) to study the effects of depth of cut, feed rate and cutting speed on the tool life, cutting forces and power consumption for Tin coated carbide tools and Rochling T4 medium carbon steel using design of experimental technique;
(b) to develop mathematical models to predict tool life, cutting forces and power consumption as a function of depth of cut, feed rate and cutting speed within the operating region; and (c)
to demonstrate the use of mathematical models in the determination of optimal cutting conditions using an optimization technique.

Surface roughness prediction models for fine turning; International Journal of Production Research by A. Mital, M. Mehta (3) a greater attention is given to accuracy and surface roughness of product by the industry these days. Surface finish has been one of the most important considerations in determining the machinability of materials. Surface roughness and dimensional accuracy are the important factors required to predict machining performances of any machining operations.
Present situation and future trends in modeling of machining operations. Progress Report of the CIRP working group on Modeling of machining operations by C.A. Van Luttervelt, T.H.C. Childs, I.S. Jawahir, F. Klocke, P.K.Venuvinod.(4) The predictive modeling of machining operations requires detailed prediction of the boundary conditions for stable machining. The number of surface roughness prediction models available in literature is very limited. Most surface roughness prediction models are empirical and are generally based on experiments in the laboratory. In addition it is very difficult in practice, to keep all factors under control as required to obtain reproducible results. Generally these models have a complex relationship between surface roughness and operational parameters, work materials and chip-breaker types.
Multi machining outputmulti independent variable turning research by response surface methodology, International Journal of Production Research by K.Taraman(5) used Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for predicting surface roughness of different materials. A family of mathematical models for tool life, surface roughness and cutting forces were developed in terms of cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut.
Surface roughness mode3l for turning, Tribology International by R.A. Lindberg and
M.Hasegawa (6) conducted 3 factorial designs to conduct experiments for the surface

Operation By Use Of A Full Factorial Design Yves Beauchamp,ext (8) The main objective of this study is to investigate cutting parameter effects of surface roughness in a lathe dry boring operation. A full factorial design was used to evaluate the effect of six (6) independent variables (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool nose radius, tool length and type of boring bar) and their corresponding two-level interactions. In this experiment, the dependant variable was the resulting first cut surface roughness (Ra).

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

We have taken 14 samples of turning operation in finishing cut the values of the speed, feed and depth of cut and their respective surface roughness. The value obtained in this by varying three parameter are taken in design of expect V-8 software to obtain an equation. In the response surface methodology the linear and second order polynomials were fitted to the experimental data for obtaining regression equations.
In this paper the optimal machining parameters for continuous pofile machining are determined with respect to the minimum production time, subject to a set of practical constraints, cutting force, power and dimensional accuracy and surface finish

EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS:-
Turning is one of the most common of metal cutting operations. In turning, a work piece is rotated about its axis as single-point cutting tools are fed into it, shearing away unwanted
material and creating the desired part. Turning can occur on both external and internal surfaces to produce an axially-symmetrical contoured part.
Parts ranging from pocket watch components to large diameter marine propeller shafts can be turned on a lathe. The capacity of a lathe is expressed in two dimensions. The maximum part diameter, or "swing," and the maximum part length, or "distance between centers."
The general-purpose engine lathe is the most basic turning machine tool. As with all lathes, the two basic requirements for turning are a means of holding the work while it rotates and a means of holding cutting tools and moving them to the work.
The work may be held on one or by both its ends. Holding the work by one end involves gripping the work in one of several types of chucks or collets. Chucks are mounted on the spindle nose of the lathe, while collets usually seat in the spindle. The spindle is mounted in the lathe's "headstock," which contains the motor and gear train that makes rotation possible. Directly across from the headstock on the lathe is the "tailstock." The tailstock can hold the work by either alive or dead center. Work that is held at both ends is said to be "between centers." Additionally, longer work pieces may have a "steady rest" mounted between the headstock and tailstock to support the work. Typically work pieces are cylindrical, but square and odd shaped stock can also be turned using special chucks or fixtures.
Lathe cutting tools brought to the work may move in one or more directions. Tool movement on the engine lathe is accomplished using a combination of the lathe's "carriage", "cross slide", and "compound rest".
The carriage travels along the machines bed ways, parallel to the work piece axis.
This axis is known as the "Z" axis.
Motion perpendicular to the work is called the "X" axis. On an engine lathe this motion is provided by the cross slide mounted on the carriage.
Atop the cross slide is the "compound rest," which can be rotated to any angle and secured. The compound rest also holds the "tool post," where tools are mounted. Tools may also be mounted in the tailstock for end-working operations.

Experiments have been carried out using Taguchis L27 Orthogonal Array (OA) experimental design which consists of 27 combinations of spindle speed, longitudinal feed rate and depth of cut. According to the design catalogue prepared by Taguchi, L 27 Orthogonal Array design of experiment has been found suitable in the present work. It considers three process parameters (without interaction) to be varied in three discrete levels. The experimental design has been shown in Table 4 (all factors are in coded form).

Conclusion
<>In this paper, the application of RSM on the hard turning of T4 steel with Titanium nitride, TiN tool has led to obtain mathematical models for both the surface roughness (Ra) and investigating the influences of machining parameters.
Optimum values of machining parameters have been studied and computed. The foremost conclusions which can be drawn are as follows:
-
The analysis of machining parameters using RSM technique allows investigating the influence of each one on the cutting process progress outputs such as roughness and force components.
-
Additionally, this study shows that the feed rate and workpiece hardness have significant statistical influences on the surface roughness. The effects of tow-factor interactions feed rate and depth of cut, cutting speed and workpiece hardness, cuttingspeed and feed rate,
workpiece hardness and feed rate, and the products (H2 and ap2) appeared also to be important.
-
The best surface roughness was achieved at the lower feed rate and the highest cutting speed.
