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.

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.
