Optimization of cutting parameters of hybrid metal matrix composite AA6061/ZrB2 and ZrC during dry turning

The predominant aim of the research has been meant to evaluate cutting characteristic features of machining on AA6061/ZrB2-ZrC hybrid composite metal matrix with polycrystalline diamond tool. Though researchers understand, Taguchi would be used for dry turning operations to find the optimal cutting parameters. We have used the Taguchi L16 orthogonal array in the current investigation to evaluate the cutting characteristics. Through this work it's analyzed that the optimal cutting as well as main cutting parameters actually affects the cutting performance. In order to understand the effectiveness of investigational optimization, confirmatory tests have been carried out hybrid composites fabrication composite has proved that it has better machining characterization. Hence, the fabricated composite can be recommended for applications especially hypersonic flight and rocket propulsion systems and because of the presence of hard ceramic material it is used commercially for the manufacture of cutting tools inserts.
