The present research involves the opportunity of utilising the signal to noise (S/N) ratio analysis to set machining factors in the drilling of aluminium alloy LM6-Fly ash composites (AMCs). The purpose of this research is to understand, during drilling of AMCs, the consequences of variables, feed rate, spindle speed, drill material and amount of reinforcing material on surface roughness and burr height. AMCs are formed with LM6 (Al alloy) as continuous component via the stir casting process and fly ash as reinforced content. The Taguchi design strategy is a widely accepted method which is used to produce quality products that require minimum commitment. Likewise, the L27 orthogonal array is used for conducting experiments. The response table, response graphs and analysis of variance (ANOVA) illustrate the prospective atmosphere and the impacts of input process variables. Taguchi technique considerably enhances the drilling operation.
