Using Taguchi Experimental Design Method for Obtaining Suitable Thickness in Decora-tive Chromium Electroplating

Authors

Abstract:

In this study, Taguchi experimental design has been used for the optimization of thickness of chromium layers. For this purpose brass materials have been electroplated under various conditions of the process. An orthogonal array (OA) was employed to analyze the effect of plating parameters on the characteristic of the thickness. Variables which were considered for working were as following; amount of chromic acid, amount of sulfuric acid, time, and current density. Eventually, the obtained results revealed that among the influential parameters in the process, only current density of 6A/dm2 and time of 4 minutes have the most effect on the enhancement of the thickness.

Using the hybrid Taguchi experimental design method – TOPSIS to identify the most suitable artificial neural networks used in energy forecasting

The use of artificial neural networks (ANN) in forecasting has many applications. Appropriate design of ANN parameters enhances the performance and accuracy of neural network models.  Most studies use a trial and error approach in setting the value of ANN parameters. Other methods used to determine the best structure of a neural network only use a single evaluation criterion to determine the ap...

Experimental Investigation on Radial Ball Bearing Parameters Using Taguchi Method

In this work, characteristics of various ball bearing parameters are studied under different loads and rotational speeds. By using Dimensional Analysis (DA), dimensionless parameters are computed which provides solution for a group of parameters. This analysis can be accomplished by using the Buckingham π-theorem. DA leads to reduction of the number of independent parameters involved in a probl...

Preliminary Assessment of Chromium Emissions from Chromium Electroplating Faci Lities

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to add either chromium or hexavalent chromium to the list of hazardous air pollutants under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. A preliminary assessment performed by EPA has identified several categories of stationary sources as emitters of significant quantities of chromium to the atmosphere and for which the proposal o f national e...
