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). …

Experimental Investigation into MRR of Polished Zinc Plate with Ultrasonic Vibrations Using Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process

By Arsh Siddiqui, Mragank Sharma, Kheelraj Pandey, Ashwani Sharma

Abstract: The present research examines the material removal rate (MRR) in finishing zinc plates on the experimental framework called Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process (SPMAFP) by inducing ultrasonic vibrations. By means of a Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush (FMAB) composed of 40% alumina and 60% iron elements, the investigation estimates the effect of key process parameters on surface finishing excellence. An L-16 factorial study design was applied to examine the FMAB …

Study of pH Behaviour of Slurry on Surface Morphology of Copper Material with Single Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing Process

By Pravin Kumar Singh, Kheelraj Pandey, Anoop Kumar Sood, Ashwani Sharma

Abstract: The chemical oxidizers—sodium hydroxide, Marshall’s acid salt, and hydrogen peroxide—were effectively employed in the wet polishing of copper using the SPMAF experimental setup. The manuscript explores preparation of slurry used for polishing copper material using single pole magnetic abrasive finishing (SPMAF) framework. The slurry contains distilled water, 1200-grit aluminum oxide abrasives, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium persulfate (K₂S₂O₈), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), combined in precise amount. Specifically, 100 ml of distilled …

Advanced Micromachining with Abrasive Jet Machining: Experimental Observations and Model Comparisons

By Allamsetti Yogesh, Pothamsetty Kasi V. Rao, B. Vadiraj

Abstract: Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM), also known as Micro Blast Machining, is a non-traditional machining process that removes material through the erosive action of a high-velocity gas jet carrying fine abrasive particles. This process is particularly effective for machining intricate shapes in hard and brittle materials that are heat-sensitive and prone to chipping. Similar to sandblasting, AJM is widely utilized for tasks such as deburring, rough finishing, and micromachining, especially in …
