This paper outlines the Taguchi optimization methodology, which is applied to
optimize cutting parameters in high-pressure jet assisted turning when machining
Inconel 718. Turning parameters evaluated are the diameter of the
nozzle Dn, the pressure of the jet P, the cutting speed Vc, the feed rate f and the
distance between the impact point of the jet and the cutting edge d. The experiments
were conducted by using L27(313) orthogonal array as suggested by
Taguchi. Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are
employed to analyze the effect of high-pressure jet assisted turning parameters
on the main cutting force and surface roughness, in other words to find
optimal levels of the process parameters. The study shows that the Taguchi
method is suitable to solve the stated problem with minimum number of trials.
