Grey Relational

This paper investigates multi-objective optimization of electrical discharge machining process parameters using a new combination of Taguchi method and principal component analysis based grey relational analysis. In this study, three conflicting performance characteristics related to surface integrity such as surface roughness, white layer thickness and surface crack density are considered in electrical discharge machining of RENE80 nickel super alloy. The process parameters considered are peak current, pulse on time and pulse off time. The experiments are conducted based on Taguchi method and these experimental results are used in grey relational analysis and weights of the corresponding performance characteristics are determined by principal component analysis. The weighted grey relational grade is used as a performance index to determine optimum process parameters and results of the confirmation experiments indicate that the combined approach is effective in determining optimum process parameters.

Dissimilar Friction Stir Welding

In this study, the Taguchi method was utilized to determine the optimum process parameters for dissimilar friction stir welding between AA6061 and AA7075 aluminium alloys. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array and optimization approach was applied on three levels of three critical factors, namely rotational speed, transverse speed and tool tilt angle. The optimum levels of process parameters were determined through the Taguchi parametric design approach. Through the parameter analysis, the predicted value of the dissimilar joint’s tensile strength was calculated to be 209.7 MPa, which is in close proximity to the experimental data (219.6 MPa) with 4.5% error. It can be concluded that a high tensile value of 219.6 MPa was achieved using 1000 rpm rotational speed, 110 mm/min travel speed and 3 ̊ tilt angle.

AbstractFriction Stir Welding (FSW) was carried out on Aluminum Alloy 6082-T6 plates with dimensions of 200 × 70 × 2 mm. Design of Experiment (DOE) was applied to determine the most important factors which influence the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) and Hardness (HV) of AA 6082-T6 joints produced by Friction Stir Welding (FSW). Effect of two factors which include tool rotational speed and welding speed on (UTS, HV) were investigated by Taguchi method using L9 orthogonal array to find the optimum process parameters. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to determine which of the selected factors are more significant on both of responses, the optimum parameters for the higher UTS it found by using a rotational speed of 1400 rpm and 125 mm/min for the welding speed, also 1400 rpm and 160 mm/min to maximize Hardness (HV).

Grey Relational

This article focuses on an approach based on the Taguchi method with grey relational analysis for optimizing the process parameters for open-end spun yarns with multiple performance characteristics. A grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis is used to optimize the process parameters. Optimal process parameters can then be determined by the Taguchi method using the grey relational grade as the performance index. CVm%, hair number per meter, and tenacity of yarn were selected as quality characteristics. Using these characteristics, the process parameters, including rotor speed, rotor diameter, opener speed, yarn linear density and navel type are optimized. The raw materials used in this investigation were cotton fibers (35%) and cotton waste (65%) collected from ginning machines. The Experimental results show parameter rotor speed has the most significant effect on the multiple performance characteristics.

Structural Failures

Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) is the area on a weldment mostly affected by the intensity of the applied heat without melting. This area mostly deteriorates faster due to microstructural changes that occur due to the intensity of the applied heat during welding operations. Weld structural failures can be catastrophic and unpredictable at times. When there is no loss of human life involved, damages as a result of weld failure usually takes more time and cost more to repair/replace. For these reasons, a weld with good quality integrity cannot be over-emphasized. The larger the HAZ, the wider the area with microstructural alteration, the lesser the quality integrity of the weldment. In this study, extensive research was conducted to reduce weld HAZ using the Taguchi method. This method makes use of signal to noise ratio of responses to achieve optimality. From applying this model, it was observed that the best input parameters, that improved the weld quality was achieved. These input parameters were current of 120A, voltage of 10V and gas flow rate of 144L/min. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was found that current contributed about 9.58% to the weld quality, which was the most influential process parameters. The confirmation test done, shows that the weldment produced by using the optimum process parameters had an improvement of 1.37db and 0.88mm reduction in HAZ, over the weldment made by existing parameters.

Optimization Of Process Parameters

Friction Stir Welding is one of the technologies of joining solid states, which still attracts the researchers’ interest.  In welded joints the mechanical properties are affected by a number of mechanical properties of the joined materials and by the process parameters as well. In the present study, the effect of a number of friction stir welding parameters on the tensile strength of the welded joint have been investigated using the Taguchi method and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study considers different levels of friction stir welding variables; namely, different rotational speeds of (2000, 1600, 1250 rpm), different welding speeds (12.5, 16, 20 mm / min), and different welding tilt angles (0, 1, 2 degrees).  The optimum process parameters and their contribution rate were selected based on the Taguchi method for test design and by using the Minitab 16 program. In this study, the best results (i.e, higher tensile strength) were obtained at a rotational velocity of 1600 rpm, linear velocity of 16 mm / min, and welding angle, 1o. The highest tensile strength was obtained under these conditions.
