ALUMINIUM-6063 is a widely used alloy material in the production of aerospace, aircraft, gas turbine components. This investigation focuses on the influence of machining parameters, viz., spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate on the surface roughness obtained in Lathe operation of Al 6063 alloy. In the present study, experiments are conducted for nine different Al 6063 work piece materials to see the effect of work piece material variation in this respect. This roughness parameters, viz., Centre line average roughness, root mean square roughness. The roughness models as well as the significance of the machining parameters have been validated with analysis of variance. In addition, a good agreement between the predicted and measured surface roughness was observed. Therefore, the developed model can be effectively used to predict the surface roughness on the machining of Al6063 within 95% confidence intervals ranges of parameters studied.
