Over many years, asbestos has been used as reinforcement material in the production of brake pads production but it has lost favour due to its carcinogenic nature, as a result, there is need to investigate other possible substitute which can offer similar tribological properties as the carcinogenic material (asbestos). Several works has been carried out using different reinforcement material with the aim of finding a possible replacement for asbestos. In this work, Rule of mixture (ROM) was ustlised for sample formulation and the tribological properties of natural based material (coconut shell and seashell) were investigated using experimental design (response surface methodology) and multi-response optimisation technique (Grey relational analysis). The multi-response performance of the formulated brake pads samples was compared with a commercial brake pad sample. The research findings revealed that sample can be produced using 52% reinforcement, 35% binder, 8% abrasive and 5% friction modifier while the Grey relational analysis (GRA) showed that optimum multi-response performance of the developed coconut shell based sample can be achieved using MP, MT and CT and HTT of 12MPa, 100 oC, 6mins and 2hrs respectively while that of the developed seashell based brake pad can be achieved using MP, MT and CT and HTT of 10MPa, 160 oC, 12mins and 2hrs respectively. Also, the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results show a percentage error of less than 5% indicating minima noise effect. In addition, the optimized coconut shell-based brake pads falls within the category of class H (µ >0.55) type of brake pads while seashell based sample falls within the class G (µ: 0.45-0.55) type of brake pads. It therefore concluded that the use of coconut shell can serve as a better substitute for asbestos-based brake pads.

This research work attempts to study the most prominent factor of the drilling operations performed on different thicknesses of biaxial glass fibre reinforced with graphene platelet nanopowder and epoxy composite using three different drills. Damages are induced in the workpieces to analyse the effect of changed cutting parameters and different tool materials for varied thicknesses of the plates during the drilling process. The resultant drilled hole exhibited surface irregularities that are measured using SURFCOM 1400G. The circularity deviations of the holes are measured using a coordinate measuring machine. Image-processing technique is used to calculate the area of maximum diameter of the damaged zone. Using these data, delamination at entry and exit is calculated. Utilizing response surface methodology and grey relational analysis, the varied operations are carried out and analysed with different tool materials for common cutting parameters. It is found that the lesser thickness workpiece with selected HSS drill under high speed and low feed rate is the best variable option.

Incoloy 800H is an austenitic Fe-Ni-Cr based superalloy and used in many applications due to their high corrosion resistance and creep-strength. However, this alloy is difficult to machine or cut material because of their eminent characteristics such as rapid-work hardening, lesser thermal conductivity and easy to tool-material attraction. Hence, the necessary experimental investigation is required to study and optimize the turning parameters of this alloy. This work presents the investigation of turning parameter effects on the Incoloy 800H superalloy with cryogenically treated cutting tool. The dry turning experiments were conducted based on Taguchi L9 Orthogonal array (OA) with the input parameters of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The outputs such as material removal rate, surface roughness, cutting force and tool-tip temperature were considered as the responses. The measured output responses were optimized and modeled using Taguchi-based Grey relational analysis (GRA) and response surface methodology (RSM), respectively. The tool flank wear and tool life were examined on coated insert with cryogenically treated, coated insert (without cryogenic treatment) and uncoated insert for comparison. The results revealed that greater amount of tool-wear reduction was observed in the case of coated tool with-cryogenically treated about 47.88%, coated tool without-cryogenically treated about 27.51% when compared with an uncoated tool. Besides, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to find the most significant parameter over the obtained responses. The obtained mathematical model through RSM was agreed with the experimental result. Further, the machined surface topography was examined using White Light Interferometer (WLI).
