Abstract : Turning parameters for cutting DAC-10 tool steel was optimized using surface response methodology (RSM). Turning was performed with TiAlN coated single point tool bit on CNC lathe. Cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were considered as the cutting parameters and relative effect of process parameters on surface roughness and tool wear rate was analyzed. Outcomes revealed that feed rate and cutting speed are the governing parameters for surface quality and cutting speed for tool wear rate respectively. Optimization method confirms reasonable zone for responses and gives optimal condition for turning with cutting speed 150 m/min, feed rate 0.1 mm/rev and depth of cut 0.4 mm.
