Abstract : In recent years, the use of materials with ultra-high hardness such as Millux Protection 600T has become widespread in industry. However, the effect of different parameters used in the machining process of such steels, especially factors such as feed rate, cutting speed, depth of cut, and radial depth of cut, on the surface roughness of the final product is still not fully understood. In this context, a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the mentioned armor steel on surface roughness. Using the Taguchi optimization method, the interaction between processing parameters at specified levels was examined, and attempts were made to determine the optimum values. Within the scope of the study, nine different experiments were conducted using Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array, and the surface roughness data obtained from each experiment were recorded. According to the analysis results, it was determined that the feed rate is the most significant parameter in the milling process, followed by radial depth of cut, depth of cut, and cutting speed, respectively. To achieve optimal results, it is recommended that the feed rate be set to level 1, cutting speed to level 2, depth of cut to level 1, and radial depth of cut to level 3. These findings could provide important guidance in the machining of such steels.
