Abstract
This research work investigate the effect of cutting parameters on average surface roughness and material removal rate during turning of Metal Matrix Composite using response surface methodology. The experimental studies are carried out under changing machining parameters like cutting speed, feed and depth of cut during turning of metal matrix composite. Response surface methodology based on the Face centered design technique has been used for the development of mathematical models to predict average surface roughness and metal removal rate. The conclusions revealed that the feed is the most influential machining parameter on the average surface roughness followed by depth of cut and the cutting speed. The depth of cut has significant for both the average surface roughness and metal removal rate for the MMC steel
