Surface roughness graphCHAPTER 1
machine construction has permitted the production of parts to extremely fine tolerances with improved surface finish and accuracy of the finish product (Krar,2006). Because of the dimensional accuracy obtained by grinding, interchangeable manufacture has become commonplace in most industries.The mechanism behind the formation of surface roughness is very dynamic, complicated, and process dependent; it is very difficult to calculate its value through theoretical analysis (Julie, 2007), so other method like Design of Experiment (DOE) has
been using for the analysis. In many cases, grinding eliminate the need of conventional machining. A new development of abrasives and better machines, the

powerful tool currently available to experimenters. DOE helps in design an experiment that will provide the most information with the least amount of work. In order to analyze the data, the fractional factorial design as a method in DOE to study which surface grinding parameters that influence surface roughness of the work piece. The parameters clarify to be studied in this project is work piece materials, depth of cut and feed rate.
1.2
Problems Statements
The importance of surface roughness during grinding machining relationship with the parameters has to be studied in this project. While, the surface also contributed an importance factor in the industry, the surface technology currently becomes importance in the engineering industry because of several factors.
The importance of the manufacturing process is the final link in design through the manufacturing route to reduce costs and improve quality among competition. The study of surface grinding parameters impact that effected surface roughness contributed for further studies in manufacturing process in producing a good surface quality. The important influence of geometry and roughness in tribological problems has been accepted for many years only limited progress has been made in understanding the exact mechanisms involved and incorporating this knowledge into surface finishing processes designed to improve performance. This project presents an approach to surface topography measurement and analysis which allows many of these problems to be examined in a great detail. The influence of surface roughness on contact behavior ia a great tribological situations.
This research study is aimed to find out the answers for the following questions:
i. What are the influence of machining parameters (feed rate and depth of cut) of the surface grinding machine to the surface roughness for mild steel and carbon steel?
1.3
Objectives
The objectives of the project are to:
i. To finds the significant machining parameters (feed rate and depth of cut) that influence machining characteristics through Design of Experiment (DOE).
ii. To analyzed a data from the experiment by using MINITAB 14 software.
