The present paper aims at optimization of multiple quality characteristics (dimensional accuracy and surface roughness) in dry drilling Ti-6Al-4V using TiAlN-coated carbide tool while the controllable factors are spindle speed and feed rate. To do so, desirability methodology is used to explore optimum conditions for concurrent optimization of the addressed quality characteristics. Central composite design (CCD) is used for experimentation. In order to create reliable models describing the process behavior, response surface methodology (RSM) is used.
