  2. CONTENTS • Introduction • Objectives of this work • Die casting process of Al Alloy. • Process optimization using Taguchi methods • ANOVA to interpret Taguchi experiments • Process Capability study • Results • Proposed work

  3. INTRODUCTION • TAGUCHI’S DOE is a statistical method for optimizing any process. • This work reports the basis of optimizing the DIE CASTING process. • The material used to form an automobile MANIFOLD is Aluminium alloy.

  4. OBJECTIVES OF THIS WORK • To satisfy the customer requirements. • To reduce the rejection rate. • To increase the productivity.

  5. GRAVITY DIE CASTING ( AL)

  6. Steps in TAGUCHI’S DOE • Selecting significant process parameters. • Selection of OA (Orthogonal Array) • Levels for process parameters. • Experimental analysis. • Results.

  7. QUALITY CHARACTERISTIC(OUTPUT) • Casting density is the quality characteristic ( output ) • Casting density relates to porosity, shrinkage, micro voids etc.

  8. CAUSE and EFFECT DIAGRAM

  9. SELECTED PROCESS PARAMETERS • Metal temperature in ˚c Range :720 to 760. • Die pre-heat temperature in ˚c Range : 200 to 215. • Setting time in sec Range : 95 to 115.

  10. LEVELS OF PROCESS PARAMETERS • Parameter A 1) 720 2) 740 3) 760. • Parameter B 1) 200 2) 207 3) 215. • Parameter C 1) 95 2)105 3)115.

  11. CONSTANT PARAMETERS • Job : Automobile Manifold • Material : Aluminium alloy • Composition : Al + Mg(0-0.5%) +Cu(2.0-4.0%) + Si(7.0-10.0%) +Mn(0-0.5%)

  12. INTERACTIONS • AXB • BXC • AXC

  13. DEGREES OF FREEDOM (DOF) For 3 parameters each at three levels:[ 2+2+2] For three interactions:[ 4 + 4 + 4] Required DOF=18 [2+2+2+4+4+4)] .

  14. ORTHOGONAL ARRAY SELECTION The number of DOF for OA should be greater than or equal to the number of DOF required Hence, L27 OA hasbeen selected

  18. A VIEW WORK-PIECE WITH CORE

  19. S/N RATIO • S/N ratio (db) = -10 log [ 1/n∑ ni=1 (1/Di2)] ( FOR HIGHER-THE-BETTER TYPE ) where Di is the response value for a trial condition repeated n times.

  20. CASTING DENSTIY VALUES AND S/N RATIO

  21. Average values of casting density at different levels

  22. Average values of S/N ratios at different levels

  23. AVERAGE VALUES OF CASTING DENSITY FOR A - FACTOR

  24. AVERAGE VALUES OF CASTING DENSITY FOR B - FACTOR

  25. AVERAGE VALUES OF CASTING DENSITY FOR C- FACTOR

  26. AVERAGE VALUES OF S/N RATIO FOR A - FACTOR

  27. AVERAGE VALUES OF S/N RATIO FOR B - FACTOR

  28. AVERAGE VALUES OF S/N RATIO FOR C - FACTOR

  29. Optimal points • Metal temperature : A3 • Die pre-heat temperature : B3 • Setting time : C1

  30. PREDICTED CAST DENSITY AT THE OPTIMAL CONDITION Predicted Optimum (U) = T’ + ( A3’ - T’ ) + (B3’ - T’ ) + (C1’ - T’ ) Where T’ is the Overall mean of all the observations in data and , A3’ , B3’, C1’ are the mean value of the observations due to the factors A3, B3 and C1 respectively Predicted cast density at the optimal condition = 2.646 g / cc

  31. ANOVA FOR CASTING DENSITY

  32. ANOVA FOR S/N RATIO

  33. ESTIMATION OF SUM OF SQUARES (SS) • SST = SSF + SSE • DFT = DFF + DFE where SST = Total sum of squares SSF = Sum of squares due to factors SSE = Sum of squares due to error DFT = Total degree of freedom DFF = Degree of freedom due to factors DFE = Degree of freedom due to error

  34. ESTIMATION OF SUM OF SQUARES (SS) • SST = (2.6352+ 2.6372 + 2.6402 + . . . ……+ 2.6512) - ( T )2/81 SST = 2.64428E-04 • SSA = [(A1-A2)2 + (A2-A3)2 + (A3-A1)2] / nr Where n is the no of experiments in OA and r is the no of replications SSA = 2.9417E-05 Similarly, sum of squares for all the factors are estimated.

  35. Process Capability Study Test Results

  36. RESULTS 1. Metal temperature (˚C) : 760. 2. Die pre-heat temperature (˚C) : 215. 3. Setting time (sec) : 95 4. Predicted optimum casting density : 2.646 g/cc 5. Process capability index (Ppk) :1.77
