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

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

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 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.
