Abstract

The material AISI 4340 alloy steel is a heat-treatable steel containing Ni, Cr, and Mo, and has a variety of applications due to its unique properties. The input parameters considered are cutting speed, feed rate, and DOC while the output parameter is targeted as surface roughness (Ra). The machining experiments for the present study were conducted in wet conditions based on sequential approach by means of face-centered central composite design (FCC) and response surface methodology (RSM). The variation of surface roughness is best described by nonlinear quadratic model with the foremost influence of feed rate. The percentage contribution of feed rate (mm/rev) is 86.34%, cutting speed (m/min) is 0.62%, and depth of cut (mm) is 0.34% on surface roughness in unheat-treated and with coolant cutting condition.
