Experimental Design and Performance Analysis in Plasma Arc Surface Hardening

ثبت نشده
چکیده

In this paper, the experimental design of using the Taguchi method is employed to optimize the processing parameters in the plasma arc surface hardening process. The processing parameters evaluated are arc current, scanning velocity and carbon content of steel. In addition, other significant effects such as the relation between processing parameters are also investigated. An orthogonal array, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to investigate the effects of these processing parameters. Through this study, not only the hardened depth increased and surface roughness improved, but also the parameters that significantly affect the hardening performance are identified. Experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of this approach. Keywords—Plasma arc, hardened depth, surface roughness, Taguchi method, optimization.

A robust design in hardfacing using a plasma transfer arc

This paper presents the use of the Taguchi-regression method in developing the optimal plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) process for obtaining high hardfacing quality characteristics. An “optimal” process means that the best performance characteristic would be produced while the least number of process parameters are involved. In the experimental tests, the surface hardening process is cond...

Prediction Model for CNC Turning on AISI316 with Single and Multilayered Cutting tool Using Box Behnken Design (RESEARCH NOTE)

Austenitic stainless steels (AISI316) are used for many commercial and industrial applications for their excellent corrosive resistance. AISI316 is generally difficult to machine material due to their high strength and high work hardening tendency. Tool wear (TW) and surface roughness (SR) are broadly considered the most challenging phases causing poor quality in machining. Optimization of cutt...
