Abstract

Presently, in friction drilling optimization schemes, quick convergence of solutions and simplicity of methods are still challenging. These issues are drawbacks in obtaining the maximum potential benefits from the optimization process. Therefore, this paper applies a new optimization method, Harris Hawk optimization to the thermal drilling process of AISI 304 stainless steel. The algorithm minimizes the axial force, determination error, radial force, and radial error and maximizes the bushing length as the major output of the process. The proposed approach was tested with experimental data obtained from the literature. The obtained results indicate that the optimal production is feasible. An example is given here of the results of the input parameters for the minimum axial force, which is as follows: After 500 iterations, the optimal axial force yields a tool cylindrical region diameter of 5.78593 mm, a friction angle of 60 degrees, a friction contact area ratio of 57.7082, workpiece thickness of 3 mm, feed rate of 140 mm/min and rotational speed of 3002.85 rpm, which can be applied. The results assist engineers in implementing optimal conditions for the drilling process. The outcome of this study strengthens decisions to establish thresholds of values that are less or more than expected thereby providing a basis for comparison, reward, and reprimand for workers. Thus the drilling process can be optimized.

Abstract

Adhesion engineers increasingly use coatings in industrial equipment on gas turbine blades and vanes because of the benefits of protection against thermal stresses, oxidation, and hot corrosion. However, the coating process has suffered sub-optimal value determination, posing a serious threat to the economics of coating. While the prevailing approach of introducing the Taguchi method appears effective in resolving this issue, it sacrifices convergence speed and multiple optimization solutions. Thus, the grey wolf algorithm is proposed to optimize the coating of 67Ni18Cr5Si4B alloy powder process parameters, including powder feed rate, spray velocity, and spray distance. The high-velocity oxygen fuel spray was used, and the objectives were good microhardness, adhesion strength, and porosity. The optimal value to obtain the best coating for each of the responses was given as 85MPa for the adhesion strength, 0.684909% porosity, and 583.04HV microhardness. The present study offers important insights into the optimization thresholds to help the components development process. The quantitative form of this work is new. Fast convergence solutions offered by metaheuristics such as the grey wolf optimization algorithm are rarely found in the literature.
