Grinding is an abrasive machining process where grinding wheel is used as a cutting tool. In this study cylindrical
grinding process parameters are optimized by using Taguchi method. Process parameters considered for the study are grinding
wheel speed, depth of cut and table feed rate. EN353 steel is high tensile strength alloy which is mostly used in automobile and
aerospace industry where high surface finish and dimensional accuracy is required. An EN353 alloy steel rod of cylindrical
shape has been used for grinding operation. Performance of cylindrical grinding operations has been measured by average
surface finish. In Taguchi method L9 orthogonal array has been selected. ANOVA has been used to determine effect of each
parameter on surface roughness
