H13 steel is a high-performance tool material, pivotal in precision manufacturing sectors such as automotive and aerospace. This study addresses the essential need to optimize grinding parameters to enhance surface quality while minimizing cutting forces, thereby extending tool life and reducing operational costs. The primary objective is to systematically examine the effects of grinding wheel speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and workpiece speed on surface roughness (Ra) and cutting force (Fc). Utilizing the Taguchi L16 orthogonal array, experiments were meticulously designed and conducted. Advanced analytical methods, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as well as regression analysis, were employed to identify the most influential factors and develop predictive models for Ra and Fc. The optimization process revealed that the optimal settings for minimizing Ra were a wheel speed of 2400 rpm, a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, a depth of cut of 1 µm, and a workpiece speed of 100 rpm, achieving a Ra of 0.85 µm. For minimizing Fc, the optimal parameters were 1500 rpm, 0.1 mm/rev, 1 µm depth of cut, and 100 rpm workpiece speed, resulting in an Fc of 10.5 N. The regression models demonstrated high accuracy with coefficients of determination (R²) values of 90.34% for Ra and 95.7% for Fc, validated through confirmation tests. Future research should extend these optimization techniques to other tool steels and diverse applications, integrating machine learning and real-time parameter adjustments to further advance grinding technology. This advancement promises broader industrial benefits, ensuring high-quality and cost-effective manufacturing solutions.
