Presently a-days precision manufacturing has picked up its significance in all assembling industries. The best product dimensions at low cost with minimum time become a measure of concern. The drilling process imparts more than 30% of all the metal removing operations done on a job or assembly. The burr is a plastically deformed material, generated during drilling is unnecessary output and reduces the product acceptability, often lowers the surface quality of the product requires deburring which increases the cost of product. Burr is caused due to improper machining, tooling and environmental parameters. Total elimination of burrs during drilling process is a difficult task but using proper process parameters it can be minimized. In the present experimental study, the optimization of process parameters for minimization of burr formation in drilling process has been carried out for Al6082 plate. The tool type (coated/uncoated), spindle speed, feed rate, and drill diameters were used as the process parameters. Taguchi’s L18 orthogonal has been applied for DOE and drilling of Al6082 plates has been performed using ply-board as a backup support and without using any backup support on CNC drilling machine. The burr height and surface roughness were analyzed and optimized using S/N ratio and ANOVA and the optimum combinations for burr height and surface roughness has been found from S/N plots. The most influencing factors for burr height and surface roughness have been found from ANOVA tables.

AbstractSurface roughness and heat-affected zone (HAZ) are the important features which influence the performance of the laser-drilled products. Understanding the influence of laser process parameters on these responses and identifying the cutting conditions for simultaneous optimization of these responses are a primary requirement in order to improve the laser drilling performance. Nevertheless, no such contribution has been made in the literature during laser drilling of AISI 303 material. The aim of the present work is to optimize the surface roughness (Ra) and HAZ in fibre laser drilling of AISI 303 material using Taguchi-based grey relational analysis (GRA). From the GRA methodology, the recommended optimum combination of process parameters is flushing pressure at 30 Pa, laser power at 2000 W and pulse frequency at 1500 Hz for simultaneous optimization of Ra and HAZ, respectively. From analysis of variance, the pulse frequency is identified as the most influenced process parameters on laser drilling process performance.

Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC) process is a widely used machining process in several fabrication, construction and repair work applications. Considering gas pressure, arc current and torch height as the inputs and among all possible outputs, in the present work Material Removal Rate and Surface Roughness would be considered as factors that determines the quality, machining time and machining cost. In order to reduce the number of experiments Design of Experiments (DOE) would be carried out. In later stages applications of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Fuzzy Logic would be used for Optimization of process parameters in Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC). The output obtained would be minimized and maximized for Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate respectively using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Fuzzy Logic.

In this paper CNC end milling process have been optimized in cutting force and surface roughness based on the three process parameters (i.e.) speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Since the end milling process is used for abrading the wear caused is very high, in order to reduce the wear caused by high cutting force and to decrease the surface roughness, the optimization is much needed for this process. Especially for materials like aluminium 7010, this kind of study is important for further improvement in machining process and also it will improve the stability of the machine.

The burr formation mechanisms strongly depend on the machining methods as well as cutting conditions. Cutting fluids play significant roles in machining, including reduction of friction and temperature. Using a cutting fluid, however, degrades the quality of the environment and increases machining costs. In the present work, initially the effects of cutting fluid application (dry, mist and flood) and their interaction with cutting parameters on the burr size during drilling of 6061-T6 aluminum alloys were investigated using multi-level full factorial design. Second-order non-linear mathematical models were developed to predict burr height for various lubrication modes. The accuracy of the regression equations formulated to predict burr height when using different lubrication modes has been verified through carrying out random experiments in the range of variation of these variables. A procedure was developed to minimize burr size for drilling holes by presenting the optimal levels of process parameters. Taguchi optimization method based on L9 orthogonal array design of experiment was then used which has shown very accurate process parameters selection that leads to minimum burr height. According to experimental study, it was observed that dry and mist drilling can produce parts with quality comparable with those obtained in wet drilling when using the optimal cutting conditions. In addition, increase in cutting speed and feed rate exhibits a decrease in burr size.

Abstract Burr formation during machining process is a vital role in the assembly lines, even though it is a non value added process but also care should be taken while machining due to non avoiding output generated at the end of material removal process. At present almost all manufacturing sectors faces lot of problems due to these issues and invest more money towards deburring still advanced manufacturing methods available. So, complete burr removal is not possible and only thing is reducing utmost by applying better optimizing techniques, to develop good mechanization methods, selecting optimum process parameters and their conditions. The aim this paper deals about research methods implemented by earlier authors on burr formation especially in drilling. The reason why the present authors selected the drilling is number of automotive and aircraft engineers struggling during structural building works because of these burrs wherever precise measurement needed. In this connection, the authors concentrate their study on previous researcher works related to investigations on experimentation, developing new theoretical mechanisms to minimize burrs, adapt a new technologies available to modify drill bit geometries such that improvement in the minimization of burrs. Finally found that research contributions by changing their drill bit geometry and cutting process parameters have been focused on utilizing the methodologies, changing time to time. In analyzing the performance characteristics with that of input process parameters, several mathematical and empirical models were developed by many researchers so far in their works. Efforts have been made in the direction of optimization of process parameters in drilling for minimizing burr size.
