Manufacturing managers, schedulers, and engineers constantly try to overcome with the effects of cutting tool selection. Inaccuracy of cutting tool will contribute to poor surface finish, tool damage, chatter, dimensional accuracy and many other problems that contribute to low productivity and much time will be wasted.Some of the important process variables (cutting parameters) that effect the cutting force and surface roughness process are cutting speed, feed depth of cut and nose radius (cutting tool diameter). In order to optimize the output parameters i.e., cutting force, power consumption and surface roughness, the process variables are varied. The design of experiment is the procedure of selecting the number of trails and conditions for running them, essential and sufficient for solving the problem that has been set with the required precision. In the present work two factorial design of experiments (DOE) technique is used in order to find the effect of input parameters on cutting force and surface roughness. In the present work milling process is carried out for the work material EN8 and cutting forces are measured using dynamometers at DMRL. In design of experiments, number of trails to be conducted is determined by factorial method and design matrix is constructed. After getting the design matrix, regression coefficients are calculated. Adequacy of model is tested by fisher test at 5% significance level. Student's t-test is carried out to check the significance of each regression coefficient. Contribution of each factor on output is determined by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and using MAT LAB software the optimum values of cutting force and surface roughness corresponding to their process parameters are obtained.Keywords

Liqud or Water hammer forming is a non traditional type of forming technique in which a dead weight drop freely from a certain height over a plunger working inside a cylinder containing water or hydraulic fluid generates shock waves which reach the sheet metal kept at a lower part of the cylinder and deforms it to the shape of the die placed below the sheet metal. Some of the important process variables that effect deformation process are the input energy height of the water column and properties of work material. The speed of deformation and pressure generated are quite low comparatively with other unconventional forming processes. The types of components which can be produced by this technique are identical to those made by electro hydraulic method. In the present work full factorial design of experiments (DOE) technique is used in order to find the effect of input parameters on deformation. Contribution of each factor on output is determined by ANOVA ( Analysis of Variance ).Keywords

Metal forming involves deforming of metal plastically into various derived shapes and sizes under the effect of externally applied forces. Flow forming is an advanced, near net shape, chipless metal forming process, which employs an incremental rotary point deformation technique for manufacturing seamless, dimensionally precise, tubular and other rotationally symmetrical products. In shear forming process deformation is carried out by combination of axial and radial forces using a set of rollers thf coordinate retrieval system using AUTO LISP for bottle neck shaped inner shell cylinder of a missile which is used for a critical space application. The experimentation consists of two stages ,i.e. Flow turning of cone with 36º included angle fromat are simultaneously moved along the length of the rotating preform. The present paper discusses on development o input Size blank of 400 x 400 x 16mm and then Spinning of cone to inner shell cylinder by spinning (3 or 4 Passes). The earlier method of development of component was a manual feeding of coordinates. This involves painstakingly measuring distances in the CAD drawing with reference to the equipment, whose axes are at an angle of 120° to one another. This process of manual retrieval of coordinates to be entered require a laborious 18hrs of operator time for every new trial. Auto Lisp, a standard feature of AutoCAD, which enables us to introduce a special command with customized output. A standard program in Auto Lisp, which gives only the end points of a polyline, was re-written to give coordinates of points at every 1 mm. This developed system brings down operator time per cycle from 18hrs to less than 15 min. and also minimizes the human error. After successful execution of the program the coordinate values thus obtained are used for the development of prototype in copper alloy and also in the development of actual material.Keywords

Metal forming involves deforming of metal physically into various derived shapes and sizes under the effect of externally applied forces. Flow forming is an advanced, near net shape, chip less metal forming process, which employs an increment rotary point deformation technique for manufacturing seamless, dimensionally precise tubular and other rotationally symmetrical products. Spinning is an advanced continuous and local metal forming process, which is widely used in many fields due to its advantages of flexibility, high quality and low cost. It is frequently used for manufacturing axisymmetric shapes where press tooling might not be justified on grounds of size and production volumes. It also has the possibility of producing parts that could not be deep drawn. Initial workpiece shape is either a flat blank or a preformed hollow component. It is characteristic of this process that the deformation does not occur in an annular zone around the axis of rotation but that the tools act upon a much localized area in which plastic flow takes place. During spinning tools are moved relative to the rotating workpiece. In this paper, a Regression model showing the relation among input process parameters, Mandrel speed (rpm), Roller type and Thickness of sheet (mm) and output response spinning force is developed using full factorial design of experiments conducted on Aluminum 2024-T3 sheets with parabolic mandrel. Contribution of each factor on output is determined by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).Keywords

Flow forming is an advanced, near net shape, chip less metal forming process, which employs an increment rotary point deformation technique for manufacturing seamless symmetrical products. Spinning is an advanced continuous and localized metal forming process, which is widely used in many fields due to its advantages of flexibility, high quality and low cost. It is frequently used for manufacturing axisymmetric shapes where press tooling might not be justified on grounds of size and production volumes. It is characteristic of this process that the deformation does not occur in an annular zone around the axis of rotation but that the tools act upon a much localized area in which plastic flow takes place. During spinning tools are moved relative to the rotating work piece. In this paper, a regression model showing the relation among input process parameters, Mandrel speed (rpm), Roller type and Thickness of sheet (mm) and output (response) as surface roughness (μm) is developed using Minitab Software. The experiments were conducted on Aluminium 2024 T-3 sheets with cylindrical mandrel using Taguchi orthogonal arrays (L9). Further Analysis of Variance was carried out to find the contribution of each parameter on the surface roughness.Keywords

Sand casting process is one of the most versatile process in manufacturing process where molten metal is poured into the expendable sand mould cavity to get complex shapes. In this process green compression strength is considered to be one of the important mechanical property for mould preparation in sand casting. These moulding sand properties play a vital role in determining the optimum moisture content for making green sand casting mould.
To optimize green compression strength the process variables like clay, moisture and sand composition are varied by selecting design of experiments (DOE) technique to find out effect of input parameters on green compression strength.
The present work aims to determination of green compression strength by varying silica sand, clay and water. Using factorial method number of experiments to be conducted is determined and design matrix is created. Using design matrix regression coefficients are calculated and student’s t-test is carried out to check significance of each regression coefficient. Contribution of each factor on output is determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Spinning is widely used metal forming process to fabricate components or products have rotational symmetry. It is a localized metal forming process which is mainly used due to its advantage of high quality associated with low cost for manufacture. In this process a tool is pressed against the rotating pre form of final product. The surface rough ness is one of the important parameters of spun product which are used in aerospace industry. In the present study an investigation is carried out on Al2024 material to get a conical product by adopting Taguchi OA methodology for experimentation. The experiment is carried out by using two different geometry rollers namely single roller and double radii roller at two different rotational speeds on different thickness of sheets as input parameters. The surface roughness is the target response in this investigation. Regression model for surface roughness is developed using MiniTAB software. Further Analysis of Variance was carried out to find the contribution of each parameter on the response.Keywords

7XXX series aluminum alloys (Al 7XXX alloys) are widely used in bearing components, such as aircraft frame, spars and stringers, for their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, high toughness, excellent processing, and welding performance. One of the most commonly used aluminium alloy for structural applications is Al7075 alloy due to its attractive comprehensive properties such as low density, high strength, ductility, toughness and resistance to fatigue. Another important alloy in the Al 7XXX series is Al7178. It has exceptional uses in Aviation field, Automobile sector, and Structural industries. In the present research work an attempt is made to prepare a blend of these two alloys and get the optimum composition which yields high strength Al 7(075+178). A medium frequency induction furnace with graphite crucible was used for the melting. Mechanical properties like Tensile strength and Hardness are selected as the output response along with the Microstructural analysis. Taguchi method was adopted for designing experimental composition of the composite which is prepared.
