THE EFFECT OF EXPERIMENTAL ERROR ON THE DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMUM METAL-CUTTING CONDITIONS.
Abstract
Conclusions: The effect of experimental error on the determination of the minimum-cost cutting speed was investigated using the concept of statistical inference. The theoretical cutting speed for minimum cost (V(min)) is not uniquely defined, but lies within a probable range of speeds because of the uncertainty in the parameter-estimates of the tool-life equation. The confidence interval for V(min) depends on the magnitude of the cost-time parameter t sub e; as t sub e increases, the V(min) confidence interval decreases. The confidence interval for V(min) is affected by the experimental range of feed in tool-life testing; the smallest confidence interval is at the average experimental feed. A decision rule based on the minimax principle is used to illustrate the selection of a specific speed from within the V(min) confidence interval. (Author)
