Optimization of Surface Finish in Turning Operation by Considering the Machine Tool Vibration using Taguchi Method

Optimization of surface roughness has been one of the primary objectives in most of the machining operations.Poor control on the desired surface roughness generates non conforming parts and results into increase in cost and loss of productivity due to rework or scrap.Surface roughness value is a result of several process variables among which machi
