— Central Composite Design has been used to study the effect of the turning parameters such as spindle speed,
feed rate and depth of cut on the feed force, cutting force and flank wear acting on the cutting tool while dry turning
Inconel 625. A mathematical prediction model of the output responses were developed in terms of above parameters. The
effect of these parameters on the surface roughness has been investigated by using Response Surface Methodology
(RSM). Response surface contours were constructed for determining the optimum conditions for a required output
response. The developed predicted equation showed that feed rate is the main factor followed by depth of cut that
influences the response. It was observed that there was a significant increase in response parameters with increase in
input parameters.
