This research investigates the impact of machining parameters on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness during turning operations of aluminum alloy 6082, utilizing the Taguchi method for optimization. The study identifies spindle speed, feed, depth of cut, and nose radius as key factors, revealing speed and depth of cut as significant for MRR, while speed and nose radius are crucial for surface roughness. The findings provide a mathematical model to predict MRR and surface roughness, emphasizing the importance of optimization techniques in enhancing manufacturing efficiency and product quality.
