The objective of this research is to study plant layout of iron manufacturing based on the systematic layout planning pattern theory (SLP) for increased productivity. In this case study, amount of equipments and tools in iron production are studied. The detailed study of the plant layout such as operation process chart, flow of material and activity relationship chart has been investigated. The...

Design of the optimum preform for near net shape manufacturing is a crucial step in upsetting process design. In this study, the same is arrived at using artificial neural networks (ANN) considering different unequal interfacial friction conditions between top and bottom die and billet interface. Back propagation neural networks are trained based on finite element analysis results considering f...

Microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, formability, and texture development were determined for AA6111 samples processed by asymmetric rolling (ASR) with different roll friction, velocity, or diameters, conventional rolling (CR), and equal-channel-angular pressing (ECAP). Highly elongated or sheared grain structures were developed during ASR/CR and ECAP, respectively. ASR led to impro...
