Abstract

Last forty years there is tremendous improvement in machining and development in technology. With increase in competition in market and to realize high accuracy, currently the non-conventional machining is becoming lifeline of any trade. One amongst the foremost necessity, the non-conventional machines like CNC Plasma flame Machins increase its demand in market due to high accuracy, finishing, and ability of machining any arduous materials. In this paper literature has been studied in the context to parametric optimization of CNC Plasma flame Machining. Different steel materials were used for experiment purpose. The various parameters were is taken for the analysis to find out optimized specification parameter such as cutting speed, gas pressure and air gap. The experimentation has been done to seek out the optimum parameters like cutting dimension, surface roughness value & amount of material removed as well as wear of nozzle.

Keywords
