In this study, Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) soft computing techniques are integrated to estimate optimal process parameters that lead to a minimum value of machining performance. Two integration systems are proposed, labeled as integrated SAGA -type1 and integrated SAGA -type2. The approaches proposed in this study involve six modules, which are experimental data, regress...

The titanium alloy artificial knee joint is used extensively in the current medical industry due to its distinct characteristics and properties that are like real human joint, but it does need be polished improve performance service life before can used. Due complicated surface profile, traditional abrasive flow machining technique cannot achieve a good finish offering uniformity quality. Thus,...

Finishing of complex, miniaturized parts, especially of internal recesses is very difficult and time consuming process. Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) is an appropriate finishing process for such finishing requirements. It uses abrasives laden polymeric putty with other ingredients to polish the surfaces. This medium is extruded backand-forth over the surface employing the hydraulic pressure sys...

In this paper, a set of experimental data has been used to assess the influence of abrasive water jet (AWJ) process parameters in cutting 6063-T6 aluminum alloy. The process variables considered here include nozzle diameter, jet traverse rate, jet pressure and abrasive flow rate. The effects of these input parameters are studied on depth of cut (h); one of most important characteristics of AWJ....
