Abstract: The product’s surface quality and service performance depend on the surface integrity features formed by the machining process. Surface integrity consists of many features including surface topography and others. In this work, 3D (areal) surface topography features, particularly height variations, were investigated on the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) turning of alumina. Variations of the areal unevenness and height distribution parameters, namely arithmetic mean deviation (Sa), maximum peak height (Sz), skewness (Ssk) and kurtosis (Sku), with respect to turning parameters such as spindle speed (1000, 2000 & 3000 rpm), feed rate (0.05, 0.075 & 0.1 mm/rev) and depth of cut (1, 3 & 5 μm) were studied. The Taguchi technique was carried out in this study based on the L9 standard orthogonal array for optimizing the turning parameters for the generation of better topography features. The error analysis was done with the experimental results and the error variations were noticed to be less than 10%. Based on the experimental results, the best surface figure combination of Sa 0.67 μm, Sz 3.18 μm, Ssk 0.0039 and Sku 3.06 was found at the employment of spindle speed of 1500 rpm, feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, and depth of cut of 1 μm. The distribution of peaks and valleys formed over the PCD-turned alumina surfaces may influence the different functional properties such as fatigue, friction, wear, etc. Besides, the results were examined through means of responses and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The test results also reported that the depth of cut outperforms other hard turning parameters over the surface topography features of the turned alumina ceramics. At a lower depth of cut, the cutting tool is involved in the shearing action which causes the stable material removal of alumina ceramics through an appreciable chip formation.
