In the present work, Turning Parameters were optimized using Taguchi Method. Also, the effect of turning parameters such as rotational speed, feed rate, depth of cut and material removal rate on surface roughness of Aluminum 6061-T6 alloy was investigated. L9 Taguchi’s method was used for designing the experiments and optimization of turning parameters. Nine experiments were conducted with four factors having three levels for each factor. Results revealed that spindle speed has a significant effect on surface roughness and it is the most dominating factor affecting the surface roughness with contribution of 52.38%. The optimal parameter combination of Aluminum 6061-T6 alloy bar for minimum surface roughness is found to be A2 B1 C2 D i.e., rotational spindle speed (A) at 900 rpm, feed rate (B) at 90 mm/min and depth of cut (C) at 0.8 mm, and material removal rate (D).
