In the present work CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and AISI 1009 low carbon steel plates. Laser power, welding speed, and defocusing distance combinations were carefully selected with the objective of producing welded joint with complete penetration, minimum fusion zone size and acceptable welding pro...

The two major challenges that industries are facing today are continuous improvement in productivity and quality of the product. An alternative to the Classical and Taguchi experimental design is the lesser known but much simpler Shainin DOE approach. Shainin methods refer to a collection of principles, which make up the framework of a continually evolving approach to quality. Bosch Production ...

Researchers and practitioners frequently spend more time fine-tuning algorithms than designing and implementing them. This is particularly true when developing heuristics and metaheuristics, where the “right” choice of values for search parameters has a considerable effect on the performance of the procedure. When testing metaheuristics, performance typically is measured considering both the qu...

Recently 304 stainless steel finds many applications like Automotive, Aerospace, Nuclear, Chemical and Cryogenics. The cylindrical grinding parameters on 304 stainless steel are conducted using Taguchi design of experiments of L9 orthogonal array was selected with 3 levels with 3 factors and output parameter of Surface Roughness is measured. The quality of the surface describes the relationship...

This paper presents simulation of High Speed Machining of steel with coated carbide tools. More specifically, Third Wave Systems AdvantEdge commercial Finite Element Method code is employed in order to present turning models, under various machining conditions. As a novelty, the proposed models for High Speed Machining of steel are three-dimensional and are able to provide predictions on cuttin...

Machining operations are involv3ed in many manufacturing industries. Turning process is one of the most fundamental cutting processes. Cutting used in metal cutting. Surface finish and dimensional tolerances are used to determine quality of product and are the important quality attributes of turned product. In the present paper of investigation the experimental work has been employed for the op...

Biodiesel production using novel glycerol and potassium carbonate-based catalysts has not been developed under the Taguchi technique. This study aims to determine most influential parameter in biodiesel from refined bleach-deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) DES K2CO3-Glycerol as catalyst. The raw material was subjected transesterification at desired reaction parameters estimated by orthogonal 16-run (...
