EN31 is a high carbon alloy steel which achieves a high degree of hardness with compressive strength and abrasion resistance. EN-31 steel is widely used in automotive industry for producing automotive components such as roller bearing, ball bearing, spline shaft, shearing blades, die parts etc. Therefore this steel is chosen for experimental investigation. The important goal in the modern industries is to manufacture the products with lower cost and with high quality in short span of time. There are two main practical problems that engineers face in a manufacturing process. The first is to determine the values of process parameters that will yield the desired product quality (meet technical specifications) and the second is to maximize manufacturing system performance using the available resources. Taguchi method is a powerful tool to design optimization for quality, is used to find the optimal cutting parameters for milling operations. An orthogonal array signal-to –noise (S/N) ratio, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to investigate the cutting characteristics of EN 31 steel using tungsten carbide cutting tools. Through this study, not only can the optimal cutting parameters for face milling operation be obtained, but also main cutting parameters that affect the cutting performance in running operations can be found. This study presented the prediction of tool life, volume of material removed and cutting forces in face milling of EN-31 steel by using the taguchi method and found that the predicted values increased when compare to the values getting in experiment. The results lead to conclusions that for optimum tool life and volume of material removed 450 approach angle is better and for optimum cutting forces 550 approach angle is good. Feed rate affecting all the output values more and minimum feed is better for getting good result
