3rd World Conference on Applied Sciences, Engineering Technology 27-29 September 2014, Kathmandu, Nepal Investigation of Cutting Force in Elastomer Machining under Ambient and Cryogenic Conditions Using Response Surface Methodology RAJESH NAYAK, RAVIRAJ SHETTY, SAWAN SHETTY Department of Mechanical Engineering, Manipal University, Manipal 576104, India E-mail: rajesnayak@ Abstract : This paper presents the study on response surface methodology, which is applied to optimize cutting parameters in machining of elastomers under ambient and cryogenic condition. This procedure eliminates the need for repeated experiments, time and conserves the material by the conventional procedure. Focus of the study is on understanding the influence of working condition on the machinability of Elastomer. A series of turning experiments under different Rake angle, Cutting speed, Feed and constant Depth of cut has been conducted on Cutting Force under ambient and cryogenic condition using PSG A141 lathe (2.2 KW). Experiments are conducted using standard response surface methodology design called central composite design. A second order response surface model was developed for cutting force. The results identify the significant factors to minimize the cutting force. The confirmation results demonstrate the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
