Abstract
The 'PA66-GF30' fulfils a crucial role amid the mechanical industry, particularly within the mechanical manufacturing on grounds of its high performances like the rigidity/weight ratio and high resistance. It is nowadays wont to be employed instead common metallic materials in assorted industrial fields. However, it's machining presents enormous difficulties pertained to the wear of the cutting tools and thus the damage entailed to the machined sub-surface. It's within this circumstance that the contemporary survey has been elaborated. It reports the outgrowths of an experimental survey concerning the modelling and optimization of cutting variables throughout the dry turning of glass fibre reinforced polyamide 'PA66-GF30' using coated carbide tools. Surface roughness (Ra), tangential force (Fz), cutting power (P) and material removal rate (MRR) are formulated in terms of cutting speed (Vc), feed rate (f), depth of cut (ap) and tool nose radius (r). The experiments were fulfilled consistent with the orthogonal table Lis. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based quadratic models are wont to predict the response factors before machining, and then the ANOVA is further applied to ascertain and rate the cutting criteria. The ANOVA result reveals that the factors affecting Ra are f and thus r, whereas those influencing Fz are f and then ap. It had been establish that the MRR and P are together influenced by ap and Vc respectively. Desirability Function multi-objective optimization was further applied to seek out the most favourable regime that minimizes (Ra, Fz, P) and maximizes (MRR).

1.Introduction
Recently, composite materials have engrossed a substantial deal of importance. Glass fibre Reinforced Polyamide (GFRP) 'PA66-GF30' is a model of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. 'PA66' is a semi crystalline thermoplastic polymer used for numerous parts intended for diverse structures. Due to its higher mechanical characteristics depicted by its good machinability, high mechanical resistance and exceptionally elevated hardness during an extended wide of temperatures, it is commonly wont to substitute several metals, alloys and traditional materials. It also develops an honest dimensional stability, a low weight, good sliding properties, an elevated strength abrasion, an outsized damping power and an honest resistance to hydrocarbons alongside excellent bonding characteristics (Gaitonde et al. 2008, Palabiyik and Bahadur 2002). The integration of glass fibre...
