Abstract

This work explores the influence of machining parameters using on geometric form controls flatness and straightness as well as orientation control parallelism using an aluminum 6061 workpiece. Due to its good strength, machinability and cost- effectiveness, aluminum 6061 is widely used. In this experimental work, full factorial design is used and each factor has two levels. The response parameters chosen include flatness, straightness, and parallelism, which govern the form and orientation control of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Different values of machining parameters spindle speed, feed and depth of cut take as per the design matrix of the 23 full factorial design. To find out the relative significance of the input factors, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted. Influence of individual effect and interaction effect of machining parameters on response flatness, straightness, and parallelism was studied. Mathematical modeling can assist in selecting optimal process parameters. Flatness, straightness, and parallelism were measured using a coordinate measuring machine. The model’s predicted and the experimental values were seen to agree very well. This research examines how the shape of the geometry and orientation control of produced components are affected by machining factors, including cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool substance, and machine stiffness. The study looks at how these characteristics affect properties like surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and geometric deviations in the finished product by methodically changing them. This work strives to determine the ideal machining settings for reducing form errors and guaranteeing constant component orientation using both experimental and analytical methods. Particularly for intricate, precision-critical applications, the results offer significant insights for the design and optimization of machining processes, promising improved production quality and efficiency.

Keywords: Speed, feed, depth of cut, flatness, straightness, parallelism, analysis of variance
