Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are now gaining their usage in aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries because of their inherent properties like high strength to weight ratio, low wear rate etc. To machine these types of materials conventional machining methods are unsuitable because of high tool wear and tooling cost. Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is one of the important non-tradition...

Modernization of mechanical industry has lead to the increase in demand for hard and tough materials and thus various non traditional methods have been developed in order to machine such hard and tough materials. Wire Electric discharge machine is one of the most commonly used machine which is employed in machining of conductive metals of any hardness or that are difficult or impossible to cut ...

The objective of this work is to optimize the control parameters of the direct injection (DI) single cylinder diesel engine with respect to NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) and fuel emissions through experimental investigations and Taguchi method.
