Abstract: The present work deals with the turning of aluminium and silicon carbide nanoparticle nanocomposite material. It deals with the uniform distribution of silicon carbide nanoparticles (25 nm) with aluminium metal powder. The reinforcement SiCp is used with weight % of 1, 1.5 and 2. Initially, a compression test has been conducted on Al-SiCp nanocomposite to study its mechanical properties. The optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of Al-SiCp workpiece has been conducted. Further, the experiment was conducted using Taguchi L16 orthogonal array at three different factors and four different levels for machining of Al-SiCp workpiece. The response parameters i.e., flank wear (VBc) of cutting insert and surface roughness (Ra) of work material have been optimised by principal component analysis (PCA). Analysis of variance reveals the most influencing parameters during machining are cutting speed and depth of cut for flank wear and depth of cut and feed for surface roughness.
