Abstract: Material Removal Rate (MRR) is one of the key attribute of machining process which influences productivity. In this work the effect of various turning process parameters on MRR produced on Al6061 (as cast condition) is investigated. Also, the effect of using coolant on MRR while turning is also determined. MRR is found to increase almost linearly with increase in feed rate. Increase in depth of cut and cutting speed is found to increase the MRR by 70.66 % and 16.36 % respectively.
