Application of Response Surfaces in Evaluating Tool Performance in Metalcutting ()
ABSTRACT
This paper advances the collection of statistical
methods known as response surface methods as an effective experimental approach
for describing and comparing the tool life performance capabilities of
metalcutting tools. Example applications presented demonstrate the versatility
of the power family of transformations considered by Box and Cox (1964) in
modeling tool life behavior as revealed using simple response surface designs. A
comparative analysis illustrates a method to gauge the statistical significance
of differences in tool life estimates computed from response surface models.
Routine use of these methods in experimental tool testing is supported by their
ability to produce reliable relative performance representations of competing
tools in field applications.
