Abstract

Wear performance has been evaluated for mechanical equipment using normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance, but aspect ratios have been traditionally ignored in the literature. Also, limited studies have analyzed wear performance with sparse information. In this study, a grey relational analysis (GRA) technique is proposed for the wear performance analysis of nylon 6/boron nitride composite using aspect ratios. A complete divergence is made from the literature where the aspect ratios of the particulate weight of the composite, normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance are treated in direct and aspect ratios of 12 cases where the reciprocals of factors, their squares and cubes are considered. Results show that the proposed method of GRA is feasible and offers an adequate illustration of the indices of the parameters of the wear process as opposed to the present method of Taguchi that exists in the literature. A key result is from case 2, which shows that experimental trial 9 with the grey relational grade of 1.00 has the lowest wear rate. The corresponding values of the parameters are 0.05 of the 1/NL parameter, while the SD parameter is 500. This is interpreted as 0.05N-1 of the reciprocal of normal load and 500m for the sliding distance. The principal contribution of this research is the introduction of the grey relational analysis to reduce the wear rate of nylon 6-boron nitride composite. The proposed method is useful as a planning tool for the maintenance engineer to monitor the health of equipment in practice.

Abstract

At present, there is a continuous escalation of labour costs, material costs and other welding-related costs and stabilizing them is challenging. Therefore, optimization of the welding process is essential to stabilize the situation. In this article, an aspect ratio-based Taguchi method is proposed to control the operational performance of the laser welding process while welding the Al-Mg-Mn-Zr-Er alloy sheets. The direct parameters considered are the laser power (LP), welding speed (WS) and welding feed rate (WFR). The aspect ratios analyzed are LP/WS, LP/WFR, WS/LP, WS/WFR, WFR/LP and WFR/WS. The aspect ratios are introduced into the factor/level framework, and the results, transmitted as orthogonal arrays are changed to signal-to-noise ratios. The final results are the delta values, ranks and optimal parametric settings. The principal results indicate that for the LPWS and LP/WFR formulation, the optimal parametric setting is LP/WS1LP/WFR3, which is interpreted as 1.6 kWmin/m LP/WS and 0.35 kWmin/m of LP/WFR. The corresponding delta values are 3.875 and 2.6288 while the positions of 1st and 2nd were obtained by LP/WS and LP/WFR aspect ratios, respectively. It was established that the LP/WS, WS/WFR and WFR/LP are the most important aspect ratios for the laser welding of Al-Mg-Mn-Zr-Er alloy sheets. Therefore, prioritization in resource distribution should be given to these parameters according to their positions. This article serves as a source of information for welding decision-making.
