This paper explains the effect of turning parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and cutting tool nose radius on surface roughness of hybrid metal matrix (Al-SiCp-Fly ash) composite. Experiments have been conducted based on the orthogonal array L-16(4)(5) and surface roughness was tested on the composites turned by an high speed CNC centre lathe. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to predict the significant parameters and their contribution towards surface finish of the composite. A mathematical model was developed using non-linear regression analysis. Taguchi method and Genetic algorithm have been employed to optimize the turning parameters for optimum surface roughness of the composite. The optimum turning parametric conditions have been checked with the confirmation experiments. It has been noted that the optimum condition of genetic algorithm exhibited better results than the experimental results based on the orthogonal array and the optimum condition of Taguchi method.
