The effects of piston diameter, feed rate, direction and axis parameters on the positioning error and their optimum levels are determined via Taguchi method. The experiments conducted based on L16 orthogonal array are evaluated at 95% confidence level statistically. According to this, minimum positioning error is obtained with the piston diameter of 63 mm, feed rate of 10 mm/min, in q-q direction at Y-axis. Finally, the confirmation tests with optimum levels indicate that the method optimises the system successfully.

Three different configurations have been modeled using SolidWorks, and computer-aided numerical analyses were performed by finite-element analysis software. For each configuration, mesh process, boundary conditions, and material model have been applied in finite-element analysis software. In addition, von Mises stress values on growth of epiphyseal plate and K-wire have been calculated. According to the results obtained, it has been found particularly advantageous to use the fixation shape of configuration with screw. In addition, the fixation shape of K-wire configuration was found to be disadvantageous in the SH type 3 epiphyseal fractures.

Bu çalışmada AA 5083-H36 malzemesinin cep frezelenmesinde vorteks tüplü ve klasik soğutma şartlarında çapak yüksekliği istatististiksel olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Taguchi L16 ortogonal diziye (OD) göre kesme hızı (100 ve 250m/dk), ilerleme oranı (150 ve 1000mm/dk), eksenel talaş derinliği (1 ve 2,5mm), radyal talaş derinliği (4 ve 8mm) ve uç yarıçapı (0,4 ve 0,8mm) işlem parametrelerinin farklı seviyelerinde deneyler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deneysel Sonuçlar %95 güven seviyesinde varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve ana etkiler grafikleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, iki soğutma tipinde de çapak yüksekliğinin kesme hızı ile ters, ilerleme ve eksenel/radyal talaş derinliği ile doğru orantılı olarak değiştiği ancak uç yarıçapının etkili olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Varyans analizine göre eksenel talaş derinliğinin en anlamlı faktör olduğu ve bunu ilerleme oranı ve kesme hızı işlem parametrelerinin izlediği görülmüştür. Vorteks tüp ve klasik soğutma şartlarında optimum çapak yükseklikleri sırasıyla 0,056 ve 0.009mm olarak elde edilmiştir. Yapılan doğrulama testleri sonucunda önerilen metodun optimizasyonu yeterli doğrulukta gerçekleştirdiği gözlemlenmiştir.

To realize this aim, twenty seven specimens are machined at the cutting speeds of 100, 140 and 180m/min, feed rates of 0.05, 0.15 and 0.25mm/rev, and cutting depth of 0.6, 1.3 and 2mm in wet conditions. Data from these experiments are used in the training of ANN. When we compare the experimental results with the ANN ones, it is observed that proposed method is applied with an error rate of 8.14% successfully.

This analysis also aims to predict the optimal value of cold temperature and COPref of the vortex tube as well as to predict the condition of how the optimal value is obtained. To find out whether the analysis is suitable for optimizing the performance, then the confirmation data verification is done to know the error level. The parameters considered in the experiment were the tube type consisting of natural cooling and forced cooling, the pressures are 0.5bar, 1.0bar, and 1.5bar, and fractions are 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 %, and 70 %. The results of the experimental test optimized using the Taguchi method where data is reduced by selecting the three optimal fractions in each response. Obtained that tube type, pressure, and fraction are factors that influence performance with the level of error for predicting the optimal value at cold temperatures is <5 %. This study provides an analysis of the contribution of improved design of vortex tube performance parameters that are efficient experimental and reliable statistics.

The experiments were planned as per Taguchi's L27 orthogonal array with each experiment performed under different conditions of inlet pressure, nozzle number, and cold mass fraction. By means of analysis of variance and regression analysis, the effects of factors and their interactions on temperature difference were determined and modeled with a correlation coefficient of 93.5%. Accordingly, it was observed that temperature difference goes up with the increase in inlet pressure, and the cold mass fraction and decreases with the increase in nozzle number. In addition, the optimum settings of process parameters maximizing the temperature difference are an inlet pressure of 650 kPa, a nozzle number of 2, and a cold mass fraction of 0.7. Finally, confirmation tests verified that the Taguchi method was successful in the assessment of vortex tube parameters for temperature difference.

The new LAS were designated 1605A, 1605B, 1604A, and 1604B. After 72 cycles of cyclic corrosion tests, the susceptibility of the steels to corrosion could be listed in the following order based on their weight loss (from high to low): SS400 &gt; Acr-Ten A &gt; 1604B ⩾ 1604A &gt; 1605B ⩾ 1605A. The change in mechanical properties by corrosion was the least for SS400, Acr-Ten A was second, and effects of corrosion on the mechanical properties of the other four low-alloy steels were similar. Finally, the characteristics of the rust layers on each LAS sample were observed by SEM, and analyzed by FTIR and EPMA. The results indicated that most of the rust layers on the test steels were composed of a loose outer rust layer and a dense inner rust layer. The outer rust layer of each steel was composed of α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, magnetite (Fe3O4), H2O, and amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide (FeOx(OH)3−2x, x=0–1), while the inner rust layer was composed mainly of Fe3O4 with a little α-FeOOH. In addition, it was apparent that the copper and chromium alloying additions were enriched, respectively, at the rust-layer/substrate interface and in the rust layers. Finally, combining the results of the accelerated tests and the rust layer analysis showed that low-alloy steels, such as 1605A and 1605B, have better weathering steel properties than Acr-Ten A for use in the humid and salty weather.

The CNC program is transferred from the machine to the CNC code editor with a serial cable (RS-232). The time calculator examines all the codes in the code editor and calculates the time of all the moves in minutes. The other processor, which does the code formation, analyzes each individual movement of machining. As a result, it orders all the operations formed with the same cutting tool on the x and y axes. It also generates the G codes by minimizing the rapid movements of the tool in terms of the shortest tool path. With the cutting parameters module, machine table feed and spindle speed are modified using the machine power and tool life as limiting factors for each machining operation. In this way, the CNC program is modified. By reanalyzing the new CNC program with the time calculation processor, the time saved can be seen.

The experiments conducted based on Taguchi's L27 orthogonal array are assessed with analysis of variance and signalto-noise ratio. According to this, it is observed that surface roughness correlates negatively with cutting speed and positively with feed rate and cutting depth. Minimum surface roughness is predicted as 0.5413 µm with the cutting speed of 300 m/min, feed rate of 150 mm/min, spiral tool path pattern and 1 mm depth of cut. Finally, confirmation tests verify that Taguchi method achieves the optimization of the system with sufficient accuracy at 95 % confidence level.
