  Experimental Investigation and Optimization of Machining Parameters for Al6351 Alloy Using a Modified Taguchi Approach

  By Suthapalli Satya Surya Sai Lokesh, K. Sri Manikanta, Boggarapu Nageswara Rao, K. Prasanth Kumar Reddy, V. Sai Akshara, Muni Tanuja Anantha

  Abstract: Machining processes encompass both conventional and non-conventional techniques and optimizing machining parameters is crucial for achieving high-quality outcomes. However, simplifying these processes remains a significant challenge. This study focuses on determining the optimal machining parameters—cutting speed, feed rate, and depth-of-cut to enhance performance characteristics in Al6351 alloy plates. The parameters evaluated include surface roughness (Ra), material removal rate (MRR), resultant forces (RF), and temperature at the tool- workpiece interface (Temp). …

  An Experimental Study on Multi-Criteria Parameters Optimization of Process for Al6351/SiC/Gr Metal Matrix Composites Using AHP-TOPSIS Approach

  By Sneha H. Dhoria, K. Venkata Subbaiah, V. Durga Prasada Rao

  Abstract: This research focuses on optimizing the process parameters of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) for a hybrid Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) comprising Al6351 aluminum alloy reinforced with 4% SiC and 6% graphite (Gr), fabricated via squeeze casting. This technique enables the formation of dense, defect-free composites with uniform reinforcement distribution, enhancing both mechanical properties and structural integrity. Microstructural characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed the even dispersion and bonding …
