A new inside-laser coaxial wire feeding processing is adopted that can ensure a good axiality between wire and laser beam through transmitting wire along the centerline of the laser beam. Basing on the optimization of process parameters and single beads cladding experiments, the causes of the uneven surface of the formed part is analyzed. By putting forward a method of the real-time control of the defocusing amount and the laser power, a fine multi-layer hollow rotary part is formed. The formed part has no subsidence damage and crack on the whole cladding layer. The size of the error is small and the hardness of the laser cladding is uniformly distributed.

Recently the problems of resistance spot welding (RSW) stainless steel railway vehicles are causing more attention for poor surface quality. Lap laser welding of stainless steel is investigated with OED(Orthogonal experimental designing ) in this study to replace RSW with the aim of to increase the aesthetics of the car body by eliminating visible indentation on the surface and the flatness of the skin reducing welding deformations. After welding tensile tests and microstructure analysis are performed. The optimization of process parameters were: laser power =2.5kW;welding speed=2.2m/min, focal position=0mm. The fusion zone is symmetrical about the axis of the laser beam and no welding cracks or porosity can be found in any of the welds. This work has great significance of improving the manufacturing level of stainless steel railway vehicles.

In the present study, a novel technique, namely, evolutionary non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) was used in conjunction with developed artificial neural network (ANN) model to select optimal process parameters for achieving the better process performance in LBC. First, ANN with backpropagation algorithm was used to model the LBC of nickel based superalloy sheets. The input process parameters taken were oxygen pressure, pulse width, pulse frequency and cutting speed. The performance characteristics of interest in nickel based superalloy thin sheet cutting are average kerf taper and surface roughness. The ANN model was trained and tested using the experimental data obtained through experimentation on pulsed Nd-YAG laser beam machining system. The 4-10-11-2 backpropagation architecture was found more accurate and generalized for given problem with good prediction capability. The results show that the developed modelling and optimization tool is effective for process parameter optimization in LBC process. The optimization of the process suggests that for achieving high cut quality characteristics the pulse width, pulse frequency and cutting speed are set to lower limit within the available range and gas pressure is set to a level which is sufficient to remove the molten metal from the kerf.

Background: Pectinase enzyme has immense industrial prospects in the food and beverage industries. </P><P> Objective: In our investigation, we find out the optimum process parameters suitable for better pectinase generation by Bacillus subtilis MF447840.1 using submerged fermentation. </P><P> Method: 2% (OD600 nm = 0.2) of pure Bacillus subtilis MF447840.1 bacterial culture was inoculated in sterile product production media. The production media components used for this study were 1 g/l of pectin, 2 g/l of (NH4)2SO4, 1 g/l of NaCl, 0.25 g/l of K2HPO4, 0.25 g/l of KH2PO4 and 1 g/l of MgSO4 for pectinase generation. We reviewed all recent patents on pectinase production and utilization. The various process parameters were observed by changing one variable time method. </P><P> Results: The optimum fermentation condition of different parameters was noticed to be 5% inoculums, 25% volume ratio, temperature (37°C), pH (7.4) and agitation rate (120 rpm) following 4 days incubation. </P><P> Conclusion: Maximum pectinase generation was noticed as 345 ± 12.35 U following 4 days incubation.
