This document summarizes an experiment to optimize the performance of an aluminum dross crusher using the Taguchi method of design of experiments. The researchers identified three parameters that affect the crusher's performance: blade profile, rotation speed, and duration. They conducted experiments using an L9 orthogonal array with these parameters set at different levels. Analysis of the results found that blade profile and duration were significant parameters, while rotation speed was not. Confirmation experiments at the optimized parameter settings increased the aluminum recovery rate from 60% to an average of 75%.
Influence of Ion Beam and Carbon Black Filler Type on the Mechanical and Phys...Editor IJCATR
This document discusses a study that investigated the effects of different types and amounts of carbon black filler on the mechanical and physical properties of butadiene acrylonitrile rubber (NBR). Five types of carbon black (ISAF, HAF, FEF, GPF, SRF) were incorporated into NBR at concentrations from 0 to 100 parts per hundred rubber. The Young's modulus was found to increase with the carbon black content for all filler types. Percolation thresholds were detected in both the mechanical and physical behavior. Oxygen ion beam irradiation was also found to further increase the Young's modulus of NBR nanocomposites by 2-3 times for samples near the percolation threshold loading.

A Combined Approach for Feature Subset Selection and Size Reduction for High ...IJERA Editor
selection of relevant feature from a given set of feature is one of the important issues in the field of
data mining as well as classification. In general the dataset may contain a number of features however it is not
necessary that the whole set features are important for particular analysis of decision making because the
features may share the common information‟s and can also be completely irrelevant to the undergoing
processing. This generally happen because of improper selection of features during the dataset formation or
because of improper information availability about the observed system. However in both cases the data will
contain the features that will just increase the processing burden which may ultimately cause the improper
outcome when used for analysis. Because of these reasons some kind of methods are required to detect and
remove these features hence in this paper we are presenting an efficient approach for not just removing the
unimportant features but also the size of complete dataset size. The proposed algorithm utilizes the information
theory to detect the information gain from each feature and minimum span tree to group the similar features
with that the fuzzy c-means clustering is used to remove the similar entries from the dataset. Finally the
algorithm is tested with SVM classifier using 35 publicly available real-world high-dimensional dataset and the
results shows that the presented algorithm not only reduces the feature set and data lengths but also improves the
performances of the classifier.

This document summarizes a study that investigated using a vortex tube for cooling during machining of mild steel. The study used Taguchi's design of experiments to optimize cutting parameters (speed, feed rate, depth of cut) to minimize tool wear. Experiments were conducted using an L9 orthogonal array with 3 factors at 3 levels. Analysis of variance identified depth of cut as the most influential parameter on tool wear. Optimization found the best parameters for minimizing wear were: speed of 190 rpm, feed of 0.36 mm/rev, and depth of 2 mm. Vortex tube cooling was found to be an effective, environmentally friendly alternative to liquid coolants for reducing tool wear during machining.

A Review on Factors Affecting the Sheet Metal Blanking ProcessIJMER
Metal blanking is a widely used process in high volume production of sheet metal
components. The main objective of this paper is to present the study model to predict the shape of the cut
side. The study investigates the effect of potential parameters influencing the blanking process and their
interactions. Different methodology like use of simulation software’s (e.g. abacus,ansys),FEM,DOE tech
are applied. Finally, the factors affecting blanking process observed are Clearance ,tool wear, Sheet
Thickness, Material properties .
This document reviews research on optimizing process parameters for sheet metal forming operations using statistical tools. It discusses how parameters like blank holding pressure and material thickness can be evaluated at different levels to minimize defects like wrinkles, tearing and thinning. Data collected during experiments will undergo statistical analysis using ANOVA and Taguchi methods to arrive at an optimized solution. Previous studies that analyzed various process parameters to optimize objectives are summarized. The document aims to determine significant parameters that can render defect-free parts when set to recommended values.
This document summarizes a study that used Taguchi methods and Grey Relational Analysis to optimize drilling parameters for a composite material (Al-TiBr2). The study aimed to minimize surface roughness and maximize material removal rate during the drilling process. Experiments were conducted using an orthogonal array design with spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut as control parameters. Signal-to-noise ratios were calculated for each response and normalized. Grey relational coefficients and grades were then determined to identify the optimal drilling parameters. The results indicated that low spindle speed, high feed rate, and medium depth of cut provided the best combination for the multiple performance characteristics.
Effect of Annealing Process on the Corrosion Resistance of Aluminium 7075-T6 ...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on the effect of annealing process on the corrosion resistance of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. Samples of the alloy were annealed at 400°C for durations of 4, 8, and 12 hours. Testing showed that annealed samples had lower corrosion resistance and higher corrosion rates than the base metal in 3.5% NaCl solution. Electrochemical polarization revealed that electrode potentials decreased with increasing annealing time. Scanning electron microscopy indicated the most severe intergranular corrosion on samples with the longest annealing time. In general, annealing the 7075-T6 aluminum alloy reduced its corrosion resistance.
The document discusses optimizing the machining parameters for surface roughness when machining Acetal homopolymer on a lathe machine.

This document presents a study that aimed to optimize process parameters in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) cladding to achieve optimum dilution. Experiments were conducted using a central composite design to develop mathematical models relating welding current, speed, angle, contact tip distance, and pinch to clad bead geometry responses like width, penetration, reinforcement, and dilution percentage. Artificial neural networks and simulated annealing algorithms were then integrated (ANN-SA) to estimate optimal parameters to minimize dilution. The developed models were checked for adequacy and significance. The study aimed to improve corrosion resistance in carbon steel by depositing a corrosion-resistant stainless steel clad layer with minimum dilution.
The document discusses optimizing process parameters in wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of high carbon high chromium steel using Taguchi's method and utility concept. It aims to maximize material removal rate and minimize surface roughness and kerf width. An L25 orthogonal array was used to design the experiment with six process parameters each at five levels. Experiments were conducted and response variables of material removal rate, surface roughness and kerf width were measured. Signal to noise ratios were calculated for each response using Taguchi's equations. A multi-response optimization was performed using a weighted utility function to determine the optimal process parameter settings that satisfy all response objectives.

Reduction of short shots by optimizing injection molding process parametersIAEME Publication
This document discusses optimizing injection molding process parameters to reduce short shots. It begins by introducing injection molding and defining short shots. An experiment was conducted using Taguchi methods to determine the optimal process parameters for minimizing short shots during the production of 3/4 inch PVC pipe fittings. Six factors were examined at two levels each in an L8 orthogonal array, including injection pressure, mold closing speed, mold pressure, back pressure, screw speed, and barrel temperature. Analysis of variance was used to determine which factors most significantly impacted short shots. Optimal settings were then confirmed with a validation experiment.

always less efficient than other methods based on a
statistical approach to design.
3. Statistically designed experiments
A correct approach to dealing with several
factors is to conduct a statistically designed
experiment such as a factorial experiment. In such
experimental strategy, factors are varied together
instead of one at a time. Such experimental designs
based on statistical approach enable the researcher to
investigate the individual effects of each factor (or
the main effects) and to determine whether the
factors interact. To assess the effect of input
parameters on output response variables, large
numbers of experimental runs are required and
therefore, is a time consuming task. Various design
of experiment (DoE) methods are widely used to
overcome this problem. The application of DoE
requires careful planning, prudent layout of the
experiment, and expert analysis of results [7].
Therefore, considering the above aspects, the
experiments were designed using Taguchi method-
based design of experiments methodology as
