Abstract

India's mechanical sector is expanding in the international marketplace. Suppliers of vehicle parts and accessories, a specialized industrial sector, form the backbone of the industry. On the other side, it is also having some difficulties. Raw material costs, gasoline costs, overhead costs, etc. are all rising daily. Hard turning is a process of removing the metal from the surface of a cylindrical object which is having hardness more than 45 HRC. Modern mechanical industries face an increasing demand for high productivity, and all manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to produce their products more quickly, more cheaply, and with higher quality while reducing non-value-added operations. In this study, an effort is made to enhance the hard turning process in terms of key performance measures. For hard turning, the EN 353 material is chosen, and it is hardened using the carburizing process. To get the most out of the hard turning process and to maximize performance, the process parameters are thoroughly examined and analyzed. Taguchi and orthogonal array designs were used to carry out the experiments. The goal of the current study is to critically evaluate research on cutting forces, tool wear, surface finish, and material removal rate when machining hardened steel. The ANOVA is used to determine which process parameter has a significant impact on performance measurements. The GRA method is then used to identify the optimal combination of parameters, relationships, and influence on each parameter.
