Abstract— Recently Austenitic stainless steel AISI-316 finding many applications like Automotive, Aerospace, Nuclear, Chemical and Cryogenics. The cylindrical grinding parameters on Austenitic stainless steel are conducted using Taguchi design of experiments of L9 orthogonal array was selected with 3 levels with 3 factors and output parameters of Metal removal rate are measured. After conducting experiment optimized by S/N ratio and analyzed by ANOVA and predict Cutting speed is a dominating parameter of cylindrical grinding.
