ABSTRACT
In this paper an experimental investigation is conducted for optimizing the cutting parameters
in turning of AISI 1040. The effect of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut are analyzed
for the response parameters specific energy and surface roughness. Face Centered Composite
Design (FCC) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used for generating the
experimental runs followed by regression modelling for the specific energy and surface
roughness. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is used for checking the adequacy of the model.
The effect of three input parameters on two output responses is analyzed by the contour plots
generated by the RSM. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been used for finding the
optimum values of input parameters for minimizing the specific energy and surface
roughness. In the end it is concluded that surface roughness is mostly affected by the feed
rate whereas specific energy is affected by cutting speed.

1. INTRODUCTION
Manufacturing industries provide jobs and fulfilling the customers needs by delivering the
products. It has huge amount of share in global capital but at the backend of this process, it
consumes a lot of energy (both renewable and non-renewable) for converting the raw
materials into goods [1]. In order to increase the production rate industries increase the
number of machines for this more resources are required as raw material. Lots of energy
required for this process which leads to depletion of the renewable and non-renewable
resources and has impact on the environmental cycles of planet. Industries consume 30% of
the total worlds energy and this consumption rate is growing rapidly. There are lots of
machining processes in manufacturing industries such as turning, milling, drilling, grinding
etc. Among these turning process is mostly used [2]. Now-a-days sustainable manufacturing
is very important which deals with the environmental, social and economic factors. It covers
all factors by using green manufacturing which reduces the energy consumption and provides

the cleaner production [3]. Energy consumed during any machining process in both non-
cutting and cutting operations like spindle, fans, tool change, motors, fluid pumps etc. But it
is found that about 65% of energy is consumed during cutting operations [4]. So the selection
of cutting parameters is the most important task during machining. It improves the production
system without any changes in the machining setup. For reducing the energy consumption
and improving the quality of the products there is need of knowledge about the cutting
parameters and machine tools [5]. For turning operation lots of research papers has been
published regarding the optimization of cutting forces, surface roughness, tool wear, material
removal rate, power consumption etc. In addition, process parameters optimization is the
most important task being followed to improve the production system while looking into the
machining operations and without any drastic changes in the machining operations.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
All new discoveries dont show up out of the research work, they basically build upon the
result of previous research and findings. In literature, Venkateshan K. et al. [6] studied the
effect of cutting parameters during turning on Aluminium Matrix comosite for finding the
cutting forces and surface roughness. It is found that the feed rate and depth of cut have the
most influence on the output responses. Ding T. et al. [7] used the orthogonal taguchi method
for finding the effects of cutting parameters on AISI H13 material and found that feed rate
and axial cut affects have the most influence on output responses. Aouici H. et al. [8] used the
Response surface methodology to generate the experimental run in turning for AISI H11
steel. It is concluded that lowest feed and depth of cut gives better results for reducing the
cutting forces and surface roughness. Balogun V.A. and Mativenga P.T. [9] gave a model to
evaluate the redesign of the machine tool to make the process to be energy efficient and
found that at tool tip very less energy consumed as compared to zero load operation. Velchev
S. et al. [10] investigated and studied the empirical model for energy consumption and found
that for minimizing the specific energy consumption, material removal rate during cutting
operation should be more. So that optimum cutting speed and more depth of cut should be
preferred. Isik Y. [11] found that cutting fluids has important impact during machining. It
reduces the heat generation and lowers the friction during the cutting operation which
increases the tool life, energy consumption during machining operations and improved the
quality of the products. Guo Y. et al. [12] proposed energy based approach for finishing
operation by using the cutting fluid during turning operation. Qualitative models of surface
roughness and specific energy are used and found that by increasing the cutting speed surface
quality increases and get degrades by using the feed rate. Kuram E. et al. [13] used the D-
optimal model for evaluating the specific energy consumption, surface roughness and tool
wear by using vegetable based cutting fluids. Ayed Y. et al. [14] performed an experiment by
using high jet pressure cutting fluids and found that wear during high pressure is controlled
and it provides the continue cooling to the tool and work piece.
On the basis of literature study, it is observed that minimization of the surface roughness and
specific energy consumption is the important aspect of present manufacturing system. So in
this paper turning operation is performed on EN8 material with carbide inserts. The effect of
cutting parameters is analyzed on the output responses. In the end Particle Swarm
Optimization algorithm is used to find the optimum values of the cutting parameters for
minimizing the output responses.

component the value of surface roughness is recorded at 3 locations of the component and
average of these three is taken as the output value of the surface roughness.

Cutting power used for turning operation is calculated by multiplying the resultant of force
with cutting speed as shown in Eqn. 2.
Pc = Fc*v (2)
Where Pc is cutting Power, Fc is resultant of cutting force and v is cutting speed. From here
specific energy is measured by using Eqn. 3.

From the table 3 it is cleared that the model is significant for surface roughness having P
value 0.42 which is less than 0.5. Cutting speed has the least effect on the surface roughness
while feed is the most affecting parameter followed by depth of cut. Interaction of cutting
speed and depth of cut and cutting speed and feed also affect the surface roughness.
Regression equation generated for surface roughness is shown in Eqn. 4.

Table 4 for specific energy is also significant having P value 0.011. In this case specific
energy is mostly affected by cutting speed followed by feed. Interaction of Cutting speed and
feed followed by cutting speed and DOC also affects the output responses. Regression
equation generated for specific energy is given in Eqn.5.

depth of cut. For minimum value of surface roughness the cutting speed should be more and

In case of specific energy the interaction effects of cutting speed and feed, cutting speed and
depth of cut, feed and depth of cut on the specific energy values were analysed shown in
Figure 4 and concluded that the combined effect of cutting speed and depth of cut has the
most effect on the specific energy, whereas cutting speed and feed has the least effect. From
figure 4(a) it is cleared that at low level of cutting speed and feed the specific energy is
maximum and by increasing the cutting speed and at low feed the specific energy is slightly
decreases. By increasing both cutting speed and feed specific energy decreases slightly. From
figure 4(b) it is found that at low level of cutting speed and depth of cut specific energy is more
and at low level of depth of cut and high cutting speed the same effect is found. If both cutting
speed and depth of cut increases then specific energy starts decreases .The behaviour of cutting
speed was found similar for both interaction plots shown in figure 4(a) and 4(b). In figure 4 (c) it
is found that that with increasing the feed rate specific energy decreases slowly at low level of
depth of cut and by decreasing both parameters surface roughness decrease very fast. From the
above figures it is cleared that at low cutting speed and feed the specific energy is more and
depth of cut is found has the significant parameter for specific energy. It indicates that for
minimum value of specific energy cutting speed and feed should be of medium range and depth
of cut should be more.

and depth of cut should be 1.98mm from these the specific energy value obtained is 0.062
J/mm3.
5 CONCLUSIONS
RSM is used for generating the experimental runs for turning process. AISI 1040 is selected
for investigation which is to be machined with a carbide tool. Optimum values of the cutting
parameters were found to minimize the output responses surface roughness and specific
energy. Specific energy basically tells about total energy consumed by the machine tool for
per material removal rate per second. By optimizing the cutting parameters the minimum
value of this response is found for minimizing the specific energy consumption. On the other
side Surface roughness defines the quality of the product. If the workpiece is not of good
quality that is rejected which involves the remachining and it consumes the more energy
which impacts on the environment. Optimization of the cutting parameters is done by particle
swarm optimization algorithm. The objective function is affected by three variables cutting
speed, feed and depth of cut. In optimization the optimum value of these parameters is found
to minimize the output responses.
From the above discussions it is concluded that surface roughness is mostly affected by feed
rate followed by depth of cut and cutting speed. Specific energy is mostly affected by cutting
speed followed by feed and depth of cut. So for minimum surface roughness and specific
energy feed rate should be less and cutting speed should be optimum respectively. Particle
swarm optimization concluded that for minimum value of surface roughness cutting speed
should be 126.80m/min, feed should be 0.22mm/rev and depth of cut be 1.021mm and for
minimum specific energy consumption cutting speed should be 92.97m/min, feed should be
0.28mm/rev and depth of cut should be 1.98mm. In future grey relational analysis can be
used for multi objective equation so that single optimum results should be calculated for
minimum specific energy and surface roughness.
