AbstractThis paper investigates on optimization of process control parameters during machining (drilling and turning) of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites by considering multiple process performance yields. The main characteristic indices for evaluating drilling performance are thrust force, torque and delamination factor (at entry as well as exit); the corresponding machining parameters are drill speed, feed rate and diameter of the drill bit. The following process parameters viz. spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut have been considered to investigate multiple process responses viz. Material Removal Rate (MRR), surface roughness (Ra), tool-tip temperature (maximum temperature generated during machining at tool-tip) and resultant cutting force whilst turning of GFRP (epoxy) composite specimens. As traditional Taguchi method is unable to solve multi-objective optimization problem; to overcome this limitation; the study proposes Principal Component Analysis (PCA) along with fuzzy logic and finally Taguchi philosophy towards multiple-objective optimization in machining of GFRP composites. Analysis of the solutions for the multi-objective optimization by aforesaid approach has been depicted through two case experimental researches. It has also been observed from drilling experiments that PCA-fuzzy (integrated with Taguchi method) has provided better result as compared to WPCA (Weighted Principal Component Analysis) based Taguchi method. The proposed PCA-Fuzzy based Taguchi method can fruitfully be applied for continuous quality improvement and off-line quality control of the process/product.

Abstract Functionally graded surfaces — surfaces with properties that are engineered to have spatial variations — have numerous applications such as micropumps, auto-mixers, and flow control for lab-on-chip devices. Manufacturing of functionally graded surfaces is an increasingly important topic of research. This study investigates the feasibility of creating a functionally graded surface during channeling of borosilicate glass by the electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) process. The ability to create surface roughness gradients in microchannels during the machining process was demonstrated by modifying the input voltage, tool feed rate, and tool rotation speed. Microchannels with graded surface roughness having Ra values ranging from 0.35 to 4.07 μm were successfully machined on borosilicate glass by ECDM. Surface profiles were obtained via a stylus profilometer, and roughness values were calculated after detrending and applying a Gaussian filter. To demonstrate the process versatility, micro channels with increasing and decreasing Ra values were machined, one increasing from 1.43 μm to 4.07 μm, another decreasing from 3.29 μm to 1.10 μm. To demonstrate the process repeatability, a micro channel with similar surface roughness on both ends and a lower Ra value in the center was created. In this channel, the Ra value at the start is 0.35 μm, reducing to 0.24 μm, then rising again to 0.38 μm in the final section.

Grey Relational

As an essentially multi-input multi-output process, determination of optimal conditions for laser cladding normally requires multi-objective optimization. To understand multi-response coupling, the effects of processing parameters on the morphology quality of multi-pass laser claddings of Fe50/TiC on medium carbon steel AISI 1045 were investigated based on composite central design using response surface methodology. Multiple responses, including clad width, flatness, and non-fusion area, were transformed into a single objective through grey relational analysis, with weights objectively identified by principal component analysis. The correlation between grey relational grade (GRG) and process parameters was established by regression analysis. The results show that the GRG response model has excellent goodness of fit and predictive performance. A validation experiment was conducted at the process condition optimized for maximum GRG. The relative error of the predicted optimal GRG is 4.87% whereas those of interested individual objectives, i.e. clad width, flatness, and non-fusion area, are 5.73%, 2.97%, and 6.73%, respectively, which verifies the accuracy of the established model. The investigation of mechanical properties suggests the hardness of substrate can be improved from 20 HRC to 60 HRC and wear resistance to over 8.14 times better.
