Determination of optimal conditions of machining parameters is important to reduce the production cost and achieve the desired surface quality. This paper investigates the influence of cutting parameters on surface roughness and natural frequency in turning of aluminum alloy AA2024. The experiments were performed at the lathe machine using two different cutting tools made of AISI 5140 and carbi...

This paper offers a different view of quality that has traditionally been used. Uniformity of products is of greater concern than just conformance to specifications. Improvement in quality by reducing the number of defectives is a goal every organization likes to pursue. However, the reduction of defectives requires an additional investment in procuring suitable technology and training of emplo...

Graphite an allotrope of carbon that possesses electrical mechanical properties. this paper, graphite taken as reinforcement into epoxy matrix. study, hybrid optimization module developed to tackle multi-objective machining performan...

Electrical discharge machining is assessed on the basis of Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR), and Surface Roughness (SR). Process parameters that mostly affected the EDM Process are Pulse on Time, Pulse off Time, Discharge Current, Arc Gap and Duty Cycle. This paper reviews research for the optimization and improvement of various performance parameters measured in the experiment...

In this paper, a hybrid Taguchi-immune algorithm (HTIA) is presented to deal with the unit commitment problem. HTIA integrates the Taguchi method and the traditional immune algorithm (TIA), providing a powerful global exploration capability. Taguchi method (TM) has been widely used in experimental designs for problems with multiple parameters, and is incorporated into TIA in this paper for the ...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of ultrasonic and non-ultrasonic on glass lens using rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) technology. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the experimental results of the grinding operations using Taguchi method. Feed rate and frequency are the main process parameters to be tested in this experiment. A three-level orthogonal array tab...

In today’s competitive world, the industries should have production systems which are capable of versatility, high production rate, precision and ability to produce highly finished goods. Due to this the value of input machining parameters responsible for the desired surface finish & material removal rate becomes critical. Present paper presents a study on parametric optimization of the End Mil...
