APPLICATION OF TAGUCHI METHOD AND REGRESSION ANALYSIS ON SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN END MILLING OF ALUMINUM 6082-T6

Abstract

This paper presents the Taguchi method and regression analysis for obtaining surface roughness in end milling of aluminum 6082-T6. Surface roughness was measured using a Mahr profilometer. The values of the experimental measurements were compared with the values obtained by regression analysis. The optimization was performed using the Taguchi method, which showed the greatest influence of the cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut) on surface roughness.
