Abstract
The present study examines the machinability characteristics of end milling process on the Jobber XL CNC machining center to produce minimum surface roughness, minimum cutting force, and maximum material removal rate for Al7075 metal matrix composites. Milling experiments were carried out using Taguchi design of experiment via L27 orthogonal array. Experiments were carried out by varying the milling parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut along with different weight percentages of zirconium oxide (ZrO2 2.5%) and graphite (C 2.5%, 7.5%, 12.5%). The effects of milling parameters and reinforcement inclusion percentages on cutting forces, surface roughness, and material removal rate were determined and analyzed by using ANOVA. Also, an optimal combination of machining parameters was identified using grey relational analysis. The identified optimal parameters such as spindle speed of 1500 rpm, feed rate of 0.1 rev/mm, and a depth of cut of 0.1 mm were verified using confirmation tests to validate the experimental results. From the results, it is observed that spindle speed and feed rate are the most influencing parameters on the surface roughness and cutting forces.
