Magnesium alloy is one type of metals that is currently widely used to replace various components in the biomedical field, but because of its low melting point. special attention is required during the machining process of magnesium alloy. This study aims to optimize machining parameters specifically cutting speed, feed rate and rotary tool speed. Analyze was done by using Response Surface Method of Box Behnken Design. The rotary turning of magnesium AZ31 was done to achieve minimum wear value on the cutting tool. The use of pressurized cold air was also applied to this study to reduce the  temperature between work piece and rotary cutting tool. Based on the analysis using Response Surface Method of Box Behnken Design obtained,  the optimum value for the minimum tool wear in the amount of 0,27728 mm at cutting speed of 80 m/min, feeding speed of 0,1 mm/rev and rotary tool speed of 45,7071 rotation/min. The mathematical modeling obtanied is Vb = 0.3550 + 0.000797 Vc + 0.3950 f - 0.008159 Vt + 0.000090 Vt*Vt.

This paper develops the predicting model on surface roughness of laser beam cutting (LBC) for acrylic sheets. Box-Behnken design based on Response surface method was used to predict the effect of laser cutting parameters including the power requirement, cutting speed and tip distance on surface roughness during the machining. Response surface method (RSM) was used to minimize the number of experiments. It can be seen that from the experimental results, the effects of the laser cutting parameters with the surface roughness were investigated. It was found that the surface roughness is significantly affected by the tip distance followed by the power requirement and cutting speed. Some defects were found in microstructure such as burning, melting and wavy surface. This simulation gain more understanding of the surface roughness distribution in laser cutting. The developed model is suitable to be used in the range of (power 90 to 95, cutting speed 700 to 1100 and tip distance 3 to 9) to predict surface roughness.

Design of Experiment (DoE) as a statistical method was applied for optimizing lipid extraction conditions from scum sludge. Four different extraction variables were optimized namely methanol to hexane ratio (%), solvent to sludge ratio (ml/g), temperature (oC), and extraction time (h). Process optimization was conducted through three main steps: 1) 2k factorial screening design; 2) Steepest ascent method; and 3) Box-Behnken design and response surface method. Based on 2k factorial screening design, methanol to hexane ratio, solvent to sludge ratio and temperature were identified as highly significant variables affecting lipid extraction from scum sludge. Based on screening results, the steepest ascent method was used followed by Box-Behnken design and Response Surface Method (RSM) were then applied for optimization. The maximum extracted lipid of 29.4% (wt lipid/wt dry sludge- %) was achieved at 40% methanol to hexane ratio (%), 40 solvent to sludge ratio (ml/g), 90oC and 6 hours extraction time. The results revealed that lipid extraction increases with reducing the methanol to hexane ratio, increasing solvent to sludge ratio and increasing temperature The results demonstrated the potentiality of scum sludge for biodiesel production from scum sludge compared with the amount of lipid extracted from primary and secondary sludge reported by other studies. Keywords: Box-Behnken design, Design of Experiment (DoE), lipid extraction, Scum sludge, response surface method (RSM). Article History: Received Feb 16th 2017; Received in revised form May 5th 2017; Accepted June 4th 2017; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Ibrahim, S.N.H, and Hamza, E.A.

Abstract - Magnesium and magnesium alloys is one of materials that worldwide used on automotive components due to very good  strength to weight ratio, resistant to corrosion, lighter compare to steel materials. Other than that magnesium has an advantage in easy to form and good machinability.  Nevertheless, magnesium known as metal which is easy to burned because of magnesium has low melting point. To maintain magnesium from burning quickly when proses machining, it needs to use coolant or lubricant to reduce temperature. Using of coolant when machining process can reduce temperature on cutting tool and work piece material, while using of lubricant can reduce friction between the cutting tool and work piece mateial. However, using of coolant and lubricant can harm for the environment and also coolant difficult to destroyed. Therefore, an alternative method to reduce the temperature when machining of magnesium alloy is using  the rotary cutting tool system. In the rotary cutting tool system, the cutting tool has a time to experience cooling in the period time. Other than aspect of temperature, surface roughness values are representative of surface of quality of produced componens. In this research, surface roughness value of magnesium alloy of AZ31 observed in ranges of work piece cutting speed of  (Vw) 25, 50, 120, 160, 200 m/min, rotary cutting speed of (Vt) 25, 50, 75 m/min, feed rate of (f) 0,05  and 0,10 mm/rev, and depth of cut of 0.2 mm. The turning process was done by using two kinds of diameter of rotary cutting tools are 16 and 20 mm, and without applying of coolant. The results of the research showed that the minimum surface roughness value of machined surface was 0,62𝝻m by using insert with diameter of 16 mm, while the maximum surface roughness value of machined surface was 2,86 𝝻m by using insert with diameter of 20 mm. This result stated that the increase in the diameter of rotary cutting tool gives a significant effect on the produced surface roughness value. Factor of feed rate also gives a significant contribution on the surface roughness value of machined magnesium surface.  The increase in feed rate generated significantly surface roughness value as long as the trials experiments. The produced surface roughness values inversely proportional to the cutting speed of rotary cutting tool.Keywords - magnesium, rotary tool, surface roughness, turning.

In order to break the bottleneck of low efficiency, bad quality following drilling alloy Ti6Al4V, the effect of cutting parameters on thrust force, drilling vibration, burr height and surface roughness was studied based on response surface method. The optimized parameters were obtained. Results showed that feed rate had significant effect on thrust force and little on drilling vibration, while cutting speed had significant effect on vibration and little on thrust force. It is also observed that surface roughness decreased with cutting speed increasing, as well as increased with feed rate increasing. In addition, microstructure on the drilled hole surface showed mobility along feeding direction. Grain refinement on the drilling hole surface became serious with the increase of cutting speed and feed rate.
