Laser cutting of metal matrix composite, having extensive applications in aerospace and automobile industries, is important from the eminence of cut point of view. Keeping this in view, a fusion approach of Taguchi method (TM) and principal component analysis (PCA) has been functional for multi-objective optimization (MOO) of pulsed Nd: YAG laser beam cutting (LBC) of Al7075/SiCp metal matrix c...

-The Aluminum Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (Al-HMMC) are finding numerous applications in many areas like Automobile, Piston and Cylinder and Aerospace, etc. Adding a third element into the metal matrix composite makes it hybrid. The Reinforcement of SiC and Graphite used in this Al-HMMC improves its strength. The present investigation is to find the optimum machining parameter of CNC turning...

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines that is produced by chemically reacting vegetable oil or animal fat with an alcohol such as ethanol or methanol in the presence of catalyst. The growing interest in biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester or FAME) is because of the similarity of its properties when comparing with diesel fuel. Karanja (Pongamia pinnata), which is one of the source o...

Electrochemical buffing technology (ECB) applies electrochemical and mechanical finishing characteristics in the surface finishing process. ECB can buff ultrahigh purity components to make them shine, without leaving residual stress, micro-cracks, and etc. The control parameters of the ECB process include current density, the rate of revolution of the buffing head, the buffing pressure on the s...

274 Optimization of process parameter for surface finishing in abrasive flow finishing process Ravi Gupta (M.E) Asst. Prof.(Lovely Professional University) [email protected] , Abstract-Abrasive flow finishing is a non-conventional finishing process that is used for finishing of work piece which are difficult to finish by conventional method i.e. by honing, lapping and other machining operati...

1. In poultry investigations, the main interest is often to study the effects of many factors simultaneously. Two or three level factorial designs are the most commonly used for this type of investigation. However, it is often too costly to perform when number of factors increase. So a fractional factorial design, which is a subset or a fraction of a full factorial design, is an alternative. Th...
