- Abstract
The objective of this investigation is to propose a simple methodology by combining Taguchi method and six sigma, to optimize the cutting parameters in end milling of aluminum 6063 for better surface finish under Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). The most common surface characteristics surface roughness average Ra and maximum surface roughness height Rt are considered. The Taguchi experimental design and six sigma statistical tool are used with three levels of control factors and one noise factor. Experiments are conducted with respect to L9 orthogonal array. The optimum cutting conditions are determined based on the experimental values of surface roughness average, maximum surface roughness height and S/N ratios. T tests are also conducted to find the effect of noise factor. The results of confirmation runs ensure the optimum cutting conditions determined by Taguchi design of experiments and six sigma.
