Abstract

The astronomical increase in the cost of inputs for the coating process without a corresponding increase in market share and prices of goods is a threat to surface coating manufacturers. Despite this threat, very few discussions focus on the efficiency of the coating process. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the efficiency of the coating process while using the 67Ni18Cr5Si4B coating powder on C45 steel substrate material. The data envelopment analysis was used to obtain the relative efficiency of parameters, namely, spray velocity, powder feed rate, spray distance, porosity, adhesion strength, and microhardness. This in turn contributed to analyzing the efficiencies of the levels of the inputs to provide efficiency information on the output from the averages. Data envelopment analysis regards inputs and outputs as decision-making units (DMUs) and is operated by minimizing inputs or maximizing the outputs. Using data envelopment analysis to obtain the relative efficiency of coating powder becomes an enlightening practice. With this, the levels of each system were termed to be efficient, if the efficiency factor (hk) is equal to one. In a real sense, the levels could be obtained by calculating the average values regarding a parameter. The result of the study was enhanced with the aid of the linprog facility in Matlab. The efficiency was obtained for each level as 0.92,1, and 1 respectively. Hence, levels 2 and 3 are efficient but level 1 is inefficient according to the data envelopment analysis. On average, the overall efficiency is 0.95 which is termed inefficient.

Abstract

Flood-cutting fluids and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) schemes are associated with high cutting fluid costs and health effects, which should be regulated through the selection and optimization of parameters. This paper applies the distance from average solution (EDAS) method to assess the criteria value regarding three alternatives (cutting depth, cutting speed and feed) using CuO nano lubricants discharged in minimum quantity lubrication. Three responses, including beneficial (cutting speed, feed and cutting depth) and non-beneficial (cutting force) responses were used. A novel weight determination scheme based on the beneficial and non-beneficial criteria was established for the first time as inputs to the EDAS method. The weights established 0.1504, 0.2832, 0.2832 and 0.2832 for cutting force, cutting speed, feed and cutting depth, respectively. The results show a multi-modal best performance of 0.8438, which occurs in multiple experimental trials of 2, 4, 5, and 8.  The optimization implemented in this study uses all inputs and the CuO nano lubricant was considered in each case using a spreadsheet for the evaluation. Case study data illustrating the uniqueness of the method using the literature data shows that EDAS is robust enough to be applied in machining activities.

Abstract

This study introduces the aspect ratio Taguchi-Pareto to optimise the leaf spring parameters, using experimental designs and a combination of orthogonal arrays, and signal-to-noise ratios to estimate the optimal parametric settings. Furthermore, the Pareto analysis based on the 80/20 rule created the accepted or rejected experimental trials in the orthogonal arrays. It therefore streamlined the acceptable regions to only the vital signal-to-noise ratios. The research findings reveal that the optimal parametric setting is MA/MLL3MA/NL2MLL/MA3NL/MA3MLL/NL3NL/MLL2. This is interpreted as 0.008426 gcm-3mm-1, 0.565 g/cm3, 113.0876 g-1mm cm3, 0.63532 g-1cm-3, 178 mm, 0.004545 mm-1. The optimal parametric settings obtained enabled the benchmarking of performance standards for the leaf spring inputs while enhancing material usage. Practically, this study offers insights on optimizing leaf spring parameters considering aspect ratios instead of direct parameters. The findings can inform decisions on leaf spring designs and development to improve cost efficiency. Incorporating aspect ratios into the factor and level schemes presents a novel leaf spring design approach, offering a valuable tool for benchmarking and performance evaluation.

Abstract

Nitinol-60 shape memory alloy (SMA) is known for its outstanding super elasticity non-magnetic properties, vibration absorption, high hardness and long fatigue life, among others. However, its conventional processing is difficult, complex and time-consuming, making the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) a viable option. Additionally, the choice of multicriteria methods is growing drastically in machining for economic and planning advantages. This paper presents an L15 orthogonal array analysis of the WEDM process parameters for nitinol-60 using the entropy method. The principal parameters are the gap voltage, dielectric flow rate and duty factor. However, the responses are surface crack density, recasting of larger thickness, and cutting rate. The procedure starts with the design of an experimental matrix with fifteen experiments. Then the parameters and responses are as beneficial and non-beneficial while their normalization is made. The entropy method is applied and the results are reported for the first time in the WEDM process of nitinol-60. to ensure optimum performance of the WEDM process, priority should be given in descending order to duty factor, dielectric flow rate and gap voltage at 0.1398, 0.1325 and 0.1117, respectively. to prioritize the responses, the average peak-to-valley height, maximum peak-to-valley heights and the cutting rate obtained the first, second and third positions, respectively. The findings presented in this work highlight the importance of nitinol-60 SMA as a promising candidate for medical devices and aerospace components. These are of public interest including neurovascular, dentistry, orthopedic, endoscopy and vascular intervention. It therefore offers new insights into planning in healthcare and wellbeing.

Abstract

This paper proposes three methods for the joint optimization and selection of parameters in controlling the exhaust emission from logistics and packing industries, using the Taguchi-VIKOR, Taguchi-Pareto-VIKOR, and Taguchi-ABC-VIKOR methods. From the delta values of the Taguchi method, parameters F, E, A, B, C, and D were placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th with delta values of 59.0066, 7.5263, 7.5261, 0.1150, 0.1113 and 0.1107, respectively. The delta ratio, delta variability, mean delta value and median delta value are 58.8959, 12.3993, and 3.8206, respectively. Furthermore, the optimal parametric setting is A1B1C1D1E1F1, which means 52 million dollars for revenue, 127 billion packing units, 0.77 optimal growth rate, 1.5 units of materials, 5581 kilotons of quantity consumed and 1 unit of carbon dioxide equivalent of packing materials. The methods are the cornerstone for evaluating the high-performing packing factor associated with greenhouse gas emissions and concurrently obtaining optimized values for packing enterprises to reduce emissions. Besides, and differently from earlier studies, methods such as Pareto, ABC, and VIKOR differentiate the alternative coupled Taguchi methods proposed in the literature. In addition, the following novel elements of the Taguchi method are introduced: Delta ratio, delta variability, mean delta value, delta/HOPV, delta/LOPV, and delta/AOPV. The results suggest that the developed methods adequately represent the optimized values and ranks obtained using the field data set from literature.

Abstract

This research proposes a new method of modified Taguchi method based on aspect ratios of the parameters integrated with the present worth method for the determination of optimal parametric setting during the friction stir welding process. As a cornerstone feature in the optimization procedure, aspect ratios are uniquely formulated where single parameters are replaced with products of parameters, squares of a particular parameter multiplied by a parameter, and only squares of each parameter information that represent inputs for the determination of the orthogonal matrix, heading to the optimal parametric setting computations, ranks, and delta determination. A wide range of 83 formulations was considered. Unlike previous research, this article accounts for multiple combinations of aspect ratios greater than the members of parameters present in the factor-level framework in the traditional setting of the Taguchi scheme. A principal result reveals that when the parameters were interchanged from A, B, and C to ABC, A2C, A2 B, A2, B2, and C2, indicating tool till angle, tool rotational speed, and welding speed for A, B and C, respectively, the optimal parametric setting was 462000 (0.rpm.mm/min), 990 (0.mm/min), 12600 (0.rpm.90), 1960000rpm, 12100mm/min2. The result assists welding engineers in implementing optimal decisions during friction stir welding activities. The findings of this study stimulate welding engineers to establish sources of poor-quality welds and optimize the outputs while reducing welding costs.

Abstract

In the drilling operation, defects such as delamination at exit and entry are very disturbing responses that impact the efficiency of the drilling process. Without control, an exponential growth in the amount of drilled components with defect quantities may result. Thus, the process engineer has input in attaining the desired production levels for components in the drilling process. Consequently, this article deploys a novel method of data envelopment analysis to evaluate the relative efficiency of the drilling process in reducing the defects possible in the producing components from the CFRP composites. The high-speed steel drill bits were utilized to process the CFPs, while the responses considered are the entry and exit determination, thrust force, and torque, among others. Literature experimental data in twenty-seven experimental counts were summarized into fewer groups and processed through the data envelopment analysis method. The results show that capturing the CFRP composite responses is feasible, providing an opportunity for enhanced efficiency and a situation where undesirable defects in the CFRP composite production process may be eradicated. The article’s uniqueness and primary value are in being the foremost article in offering an updated vast representation of the comparative efficiency of CFRP composite parameters within the literature for the composite area. The work adds value to the CFRP composite literature by envisaging and understanding the comparative efficiency for the parameters, identifying and separating the best from the worst decision-making unit. It also reveals how the parameters are linked by their relative placements. The article's novelty is that using data envelopment to compare the efficiency in reducing drilling defects such as entry and exit determination, among others. The method’s utility is to provide information for cost-effective drilling operations during the planning and control phases of the operation.
