Abstract

Good surface finishing, quality, and maximizing metal removal are characteristics feature of machining operation. The process variables affect the product’s surface roughness and rate of metal removal. Proper management of the process variables makes it easier to lower machining costs and enhance product quality. In order to get the best product, extensive research has been done previously to optimize the procedure specifications in any machining process. This paper studies how important the material removal process is, its benefits, and its relevancy in the manufacturing industries. The most recent turning process research uses the Response Surface Methodology (RMS). Process variables including feed, cutting speed, and depth of cut work well. In most circumstances, a technical need for mechanical products, the surface profile, and the roughness of a machined workpiece are two of the most significant product quality features. The necessary surface quality must be obtained for a part to function as intended. Finding a simple solution and a completely reliable approach is crucial due to the surface quality mechanism’s process dependence and the various uncontrollable elements that affect relevant phenomena.
