Abstract: -- This dissertation work shall focus on the unique response -Residual Stress - found upon turning the
workpiece using CNC turning center. The material chosen is EN353, which is used in Automobile applications like shafts
& gears, where the case of the part is expected to be hard while the core should stay soft to offer toughness during shock
loading. The research shall be performed upon identifying fundamental machining parameters that influences this
response. Statistical techniques shall be used to determine the optimal settings for the given parameters. The experiment
shall be performed at a suitable facility and the optimal results shall be validated through experimentation. The residual
stresses are being considered to be measured using `Hole Drilling Method’ or a suitable technique at the test lab. The
objective of the work shall be to optimize the parameters in order to realize reduced level of residual stress while
maintaining the rate of production for the given component.
