AbstractMachining of alloy materials at high cutting speeds produces high temperatures in the cutting zone, which affects the surface quality. Thus, developing a model for estimating the cutting parameters and optimizing this model to minimize the surface roughness and cutting temperatures becomes utmost important to avoid any damage to the quality surface. This paper presents the development of new models and optimizing these models of machining parameters to minimize the surface roughness and cutting temperature in end milling process by Taguchi method with the statistical approach. Two objectives have been considered, minimum arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) and cutting temperature. Due to the complexity of this machining optimization problem, a single objective Taguchi method has been applied to resolve the problem, and the results have been analyzed.

We seldom realized that without this form of metal work, many structures would cease to be in existence. A skilled journeymen welder joins metal in such a way that it is not able to be parted unless it is cut. Welding is an absolutely essential technique used in various industries like automotive industry, construction industry as well as in the aviation industry. Hence welding process parameters are required to be optimized for their responses or welding characteristics. This study incorporates entropy measurement technique based on grey Taguchi method to analyze multiple quality characteristic optimization of metal inert gas welding of low carbon steel plates. For this study, four control variables are selected current, voltage, gas flow rate and wire feed rate and analysing their effect on the four quality characteristics ultimate tensile strength, elongation %, bending strength and hardness of the weldments have been investigated in this paper. In order to optimize the multiple quality characteristic of the MIG welding, grey relational analysis coupled with entropy measurement method has been employed. Using entropy measurement method, value of weight corresponding to each quality characteristic has been assigned, so that the importance can be properly determined. Using the theory of grey relational analysis, these have been accumulated to calculate the overall grey relational grade. Signal to Noise ratio (S/N ratio) is applied to find the optimal parameter setting. To determine the contribution of MIG welding process parameters, Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on grey relational grade has been calculated. The confirmatory test also has been done for verifying the results. A foresaid methodology has been found fruitful in the cases where simultaneous optimization of huge number of responses is required.Keywords: Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding, Grey-Taguchi Method, Entropy Measurement Technique, Analysis of variance (ANOVA), S-N ratio.

The majority of semiconductor devices are made up of silicon wafers. Manufacturing of high-quality silicon wafers includes numerous machining processes, including end milling. In order to end mill silicon to a nano-meteric surface finish, it is crucial to determine the effect of machining parameters, which influence the machining transition from brittle to ductile mode. Thus, this paper presents a novel experimental technique to study the effects of machining parameters in high speed end milling of silicon. The application of compressed air, in order to blow away the chips formed, is also investigated. The machining parameters’ ranges which facilitate the transition from brittle to ductile mode cutting as well as enable the attainment of high quality surface finish and integrity are identified. Mathematical model of the response parameter, the average surface roughness (Ra) is subsequently developed using RSM in terms of the machining parameters. The model was determined, by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), to have a confidence level of 95%. The experimental results show that the developed mathematical model can effectively describe the performance indicators within the controlled limits of the factors that are being considered.

This study analyzed the tool vibration (Vib) and surface roughness (Ra) during turning of AISI 4340 (34CrNiMo6) tempered steel samples using Taguchi Method. In this context, Taguchi design L18 (21 × 32) was used to analyze the experimental results. The vibration amplitude values from cutting tools were recorded for different machining parameters, control factors; two different sample hardness (46 and 53 HRc), three different cutting speeds (180, 220, 260 m.min−1), and feed rates (0.08, 0.14, 0.20 mm.rev−1) were selected. The machining parameters giving optimum Vib and Ra values were determined. Regression analysis is applied to predict values of Vib and Ra. Analysis of variance was used to determine the effects of machining parameters on the Vib and Ra values. The most important machining parameters were found to be the feed rate, sample hardness, and cutting speed for Vib and Ra, respectively. The lowest Vib and Ra values were obtained in 46 HRc sample as 0.0022 gRMS and 0.255 µm, respectively. The surface quality can be improved by reducing the sources of vibration by using appropriate machining parameters. As a result, there is a significant relationship between Ra and Vib. The lower Ra values were found during turning process of tempered steel samples according to the literature studies. It is suggested that the process can be preferred as an alternative process to grinding process due to lower cost and machining time. In application of the turning of experiment samples by ceramic cutting tool, a substantial technological and economical benefit has been observed.
