REVIEW ON OPTIMIZATION OF THE PARAMETER IN CYLINDRICAL GRINDING OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL ROD (AISI 317 L) BY TAGUCHI METHOD

The process of center less grinding has been established in the mass production of slim, rotationally symmetrical components. Because of the complex set-up, which results from the large sensitivity of this grinding process to a multiplicity of geometrical, dynamical and kinematical influence parameters, center less grinding is rarely applied within limited-lot production. The substantial characteristics of this grinding process are the simultaneous guidance and machining of the work piece on its periphery. Cylindrical grinding is an essential process for final machining of components requiring smooth surfaces and precise tolerances. As compared with other machining processes, grindings costly operation that should be utilized under optimal conditions. Although widely used in industry, grinding remains perhaps the least understood of all machining processes. The proposed work takes the following input processes parameters namely Work speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The main objective of this work is to predict the grinding behavior and achieve optimal operating processes parameters
