This paper focuses on the application of Taguchi method for optimization of SUS440 stainless steel polishing process parameters to obtain the best finish. An optimization experiment for polishing stainless steel with SiO2 was designed by Taguchi method. Surface roughness Ra is considered as criteria for optimization. Influence of parameters involving load, speed, and slurry concentration for a given workmaterial with given abrasive (material and size) are discussed, and the optimum polishing conditions are figured out. Compared with single parameter experimental results, it illustrates that the experiment design based on Taguchi method can successfully applied to determine the optimum processing conditions for SUS440 stainless steel polishing process.

The surface quality is a critical factor affecting the performance and reliability of advanced ceramics. This paper focuses on the application of Taguchi method for optimization of advanced ceramics lapping process parameters to obtain the best finish. An optimization experiment for lapping silicon wafer with Al2O3 was designed by Taguchi method. Surface roughness Ra and Rt are considered as criteria for optimization. Influence of parameters involving load, speed, and slurry concentration for a given workmaterial with given abrasive (material and size) are discussed, and the optimum lapping conditions are figured out. Compared with single parameter experimental results, it illustrates that the experiment design based on Taguchi method can successfully applied to determine the optimum processing conditions for advanced ceramics lapping process.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is the most effective technology to achieve ultra-smooth without damage surface in ultra-precision machining of stainless steel substrate. In this paper, according to the slurry ingredients obtained by former research, the influences of the CMP process parameters, such as the rotational velocity of the platen and the carrier, the polishing pressure and the abrasive size on the material removal rate (MRR), have been studied in CMP stainless steel substrate based on the alumina (Al2O3) abrasive. The research results show that the material removal rate increases with the increase of the abrasive size, the rotational velocity of the platen and the polishing pressure significantly and the surface roughness increases with the increase of the abrasive size. This study results will provide the reference for optimizing the process parameters and researching the material removal mechanism in CMP stainless steel sheet.

To improve the machining efficiency as well as surface roughness, a series of experiments employed fixed abrasive tools are carried out for stainless steel substrate, and influences of properties of fixed abrasive tool on the lapping process are studied. It is found that the resin is the best bonding material in this study. The surface roughness under different concentration of bonding material is similar, and the material removal rate (MRR) increases as the concentration of bonding material decreases from 50% to 20%. But too little of bonding material results into low bond strength that causing low material removal rate. It is also found that higher shear strength, lower wear rate, and the shear strength of the tool with 35% bonding material is the highest. It is obvious that the surface roughness and material removal rate decline as the grit size decreases. The roughness of surface lapped with resin bonded 4000# SiC abrasive tool comes to 18nm, and the material removal rate is 0.63μm/min.

This paper aims at studying the effect of polishing parameters on surface roughness by using the cloth wheel polishing process. Stainless steel was used as a specimen in this study. The investigation firstly accounted for the comparison between two polishing compounds, and the best one was used to be applied in a set of experiment. The effect of spindle speed, current and polishing time on the surface roughness of stainless steel was examined, and the results showed that polishing time and current played the significant role in degree of roughness. The optimum condition under the range of parameters considered in this work was determined, whose surface roughness was about 0.0466 μm.

Corrosion and Wear, or a combination of both, are the main causes of degradation of metals used in the various industrial sectors. Degradation of the metals can be slowed down by adding a layer of resistant coating on the metal surface. This coating separates the base metal from a corrosive environment, reduces wear, and improves the appearance of the metal. The workpiece after coating becomes a composite that has properties far better than the substrate alone. There are various coating techniques, HVOF is one of the most important and widely used processes to protect the metals from wear, corrosion by providing hard and dense coatings. WC coating done by the high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray method is the widely used method for providing a layer of corrosive resistance to a wide range of materials that are used in many different industries. In this study, Tungsten carbide (WC-12CO) Coating, HVOF Spray method was studied in great detail. Tungsten Carbide coating was done on a SUS400 Stainless steel substrate using HVOF Spray Process. An, Experiment was done to analyze the various effect of different parameters namely, oxygen rate, propane (fuel) rate, powder rate, spray distance on hardness, and surface roughness of a SUS 400 Stainless Steel substrate. Process optimization was done by using Taguchi and ANOVA methods. It was found that achieving maximum hardness was greatly dependent on propane (fuel) rate followed by powder rate, spray distance, and oxygen rate. The hardness decreases with the increasing fuel rate. And, achieving minimum surface roughness was greatly dependent on spray distance followed by oxygen rate, propane (fuel) rate, powder rate. Surface Roughness increases with increasing spray distance.

Porous self-generation superabrasive tool (PSST) is a newly developed metal bonded superabrasive tool. It is found that processing parameters have great influence on the machining quality when using PSST. This paper focuses on the application of Taguchi method for optimization of lapping process parameters when using PSST to obtain the best surface quality. An optimization experiment for lapping optical glass with PSST was designed by Taguchi method. Surface roughness Ra is considered as criteria for optimization. Influence of parameters involving filler concentration in binder, lapping load, lapping speed and concentration of solute are discussed, and the optimum lapping condition is figured out. The optimization result illustrates that the experiment design based on Taguchi method can successfully applied to determine the optimum processing conditions for lapping process using PSST.
