THE SURFACE ROUGHNESS Analysis Variance of Surface Roughness Using RSM

4.2 THE SURFACE ROUGHNESS

Table 4.1 shows the results of the surface roughness during machining process of D2 tool steel using the flooded cooling system for the 17 experiments. Through a range of parameters that have been set, the range surface roughness result obtained of the results obtained is from 0.2129-0.71 µm. the ability of the machining tool show a combination of milling parameters are competitive for machining D2 tool steel. Generally the value of surface roughness obtained in machining process is usually between 0.8-6.3 µm Kalpakjian Schmid 2003. This proves that the High Speed Machining technique capable to producing the best surface finish in machining process.

4.3 Analysis Variance of Surface Roughness Using RSM

Table 4.2 shows the analysis of surface roughness with using RSM method. The factors that affect the parameters when the P-value less than 0.05 using 95 confidence interval. ANOVA shows the parameters that influence the output. From the table 4.2 also, the linear model was found significant with P-value 0.0018 and the F-value is 13.17297. The factors are cutting speed followed by feed rate is found significant and are arranged based on the largest F-value. This factor caused when the P-value is below 0.05. The parameter that influences the surface roughness was cutting speed, is because this parameter is the most dominant when compared with the feed rate. The cutting speed model has the most high F-value of 26.11974 compared to the feed rate and the width of cut. 54 Table 4.2: ANOVA for experiment Source Sum of squares df Mean square F-value P-value prob F Model 0.107183 3 0.035728 13.17297 0.0018 significant A-cutting speed 0.070842 1 0.070842 26.11974 0.0009 B-feed rate 0.035756 1 0.035756 13.18358 0.0067 C-width of cut 0.002363 1 0.002363 0.871116 0.3780 Residual 0.021698 8 0.002712 Lack of Fit 0.013328 6 0.002221 0.530862 0.7682 not significant Pure error 0.008369 2 0.004185 Cor total 0.128881 11 Std.

The width of the cut parameter is not significant in influencing the surface roughness during machining is done. Separation of insignificant factor does not affect the calculation and the mathematical model because of the different average error of 3.8 compared with 3.3 if not saperated unsignificant factor. This is proved by small changes R square values 0.8316 and the adjusted R-square 0.7685 compared R-squared 0.8133 and adjusted R-squared 0.7718 after separation.
