Abstract: Due to the advancement of technology, the demand of hour is increasing. Metal machining is one of them important aspect in technology advancement. Majority of work performed by the engineers are to find out the optimal level of parameters to obtain the desired quality and to maximize the performance of machining by the use of available resources. Productivity plays a vital role in the analyzing the performance of a machine. The present experimental research on plain turning studies the process parameters that are affecting the machining performance and its productivity. Taguchi approach is used for the optimization of parameters and performance measures. In the present work, the machining parameters are cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, which are optimized for the maximum material removal rate during turning of Aluminium 6061 with HSS tool. Analysis of Variance is also employed to determine the variable affecting the various responses mentioned above.
