Investigating the Process Parameters for Optimization on Die Steel EN-31 using Taguchi GRA Technique
Keywords:
Wire EDM, Alloy Steel, EN-31, Taguchi Method, ANOVAAbstract
Investigating the effect of heat treatment in the industry, more focus was found on the use of optimization technique. The main aim of this process is to maximize Hardness in Steel material using Heat Treatment and Taguchi Method. EN31 is a manganese and chromium steel with high carbon content. EN31 is widely used in the automobile industry for making heavy-duty gear, shaft, pinion, camshafts, gudgeon pins and machining components and many general engineering applications. The Experiment was conducted to refer to and research Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate. The experiment was carried out using three input parameters Pulse off time, Pulse on time and Wire Feed with three different levels. The effects of different input parameters and the effect of their combination on Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate was determined using Taguchi and ANOVA Table.
