finishing process is widely focused by the knowledge of forces involved in the process. This paper deals with the detailed parametric study in super finishing of stainless steel SUS 304 thick steel tube. Statistically designed experiments based on Taguchi methods show that weight of abrasive‚ Revolutions per minute (rpm)‚ magnetic abrasive diameter (Mesh No.) and finishing time have significant effect on the surface roughness obtained. Analysis of experimental data showed that change in surface roughness

response‚ examining the response and forming the mathematical prediction model. The modern DOE‚ introduced by Genichi Taguchi in early 1980s‚ applies in both product and process development to identify the factors that affect the variability of the response. One important use of DOE is to find the tolerances and nominal values‚ called Parameter Design‚ that will achieve design goals. In Taguchi method‚ it is to make the performance as insensitive as possible to variations of parameters that cannot be controlled
