With the advent of the industrial revolution 4.0, the goal of the manufacturing industry is to produce a large number of products in relatively less time. This study applies the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array methodological paradigm along with response surface design. This work optimizes the process parameters in the turning of Aluminum Alloy 7075 using a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. The optimal parameters influenced the rate of metal removal, the roughness of the machined surface, and the force of cutting. This experimental investigation deals with the optimization of speed (800 rpm, 1200 rpm, and 1600 rpm) and feed (0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 mm/rev) in addition to cutting depth (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm) on the turning of Aluminum 7075 alloy in a CNC machine. The outcome in terms of results such as the removal rate of material (maximum), roughness on the machined surface (minimum), along with cutting force (least amount) were improved by the L27 array Taguchi method. There were 27 specimens of Al7075 alloy produced as per the array, and the corresponding responses were measured with the help of various direct contact and indirect contact sensors. Results were concluded all the way through diagrams of main effects in favor of signal-to-noise ratios and diagrams of surfaces with contour diagrams for various combinations of responses.

In this paper, Al-Fe-Si-Zn-Cu (AA8079) matrix composites with several weight percentages of B4C (0, 5, 10, and 15) were synthesized by powder metallurgy (PM). The essential amount of powders was milled to yield different compositions such as AA8079, AA8079-5 wt.%B4C, AA8079-10 wt.%B4C, and AA8079-15 wt.%B4C. The influence of powder metallurgy parameters on properties’ density, hardness, and compressive strength was examined. The green compacts were produced at three various pressures: 300 MPa, 400 MPa, and 500 MPa. The fabricated green compacts were sintered at 375 °C, 475 °C, and 575 °C for the time period of 1, 2 and 3 h, respectively. Furthermore, the sintered samples were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Energy Dispersive Analysis (EDAX), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) examinations. The SEM examination confirmed the uniform dispersal of B4C reinforcement with AA8079 matrix. Corrosion behavior of the composites samples was explored. From the studies, it is witnessed that the rise in PM process parameters enhances the density, hardness, compressive strength, and corrosion resistance.

Aluminium and its alloys play a significant role in engineering material applications due to its low weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance. The welding of aluminium alloy is challenging for the normal conventional arc welding processes. This research tries to resolve those issues by the Tungsten Inert Gas welding process. The TIG welding method is an easy, friendly process to perform welding. The widely applicable wrought aluminium AA8006 alloy, which was not considered for TIG welding in earlier studies, is considered in this investigation. For optimizing the number of experiments, the Taguchi experimental design of L9 orthogonal array type experimental design/plan was employed by considering major influencing process parameters like welding speed, base current, and peak current at three levels. The welded samples are included to investigate mechanical characterizations like surface hardness and strengths for standing tensile and impact loading. The results of the investigation on mechanical characterization of permanent joint of aluminium AA8006 alloy TIG welding were statistically analyzed and discussed. The 3D profilometric images of tensile-tested specimens were investigated, and they suggested optimized process parameters based on the result investigations.

Countries globally are focusing on alternative fuels to reduce the environmental pollution. An example is biodiesel fuel, which is leading the way to other technologies. In this research, the methyl esters of castor oil were prepared using a two-step transesterification process. The respective properties of the castor oil (Ricinus Communis) biodiesel were estimated using ASTM standards. The effect of performance and emission on diesel engines was noted for four various engine loads (25, 50, 75, and 100%), with two different blends (B5 and B20) and at two different engine speeds (1500 and 2000 rpm). The study determined that B5 and B20 samples at 1500 rpm engine speed obtained the same power, but diesel fuel generated greater control. The power increased at 2000 rpm for B5 samples, but B20 samples, as well as diesel, were almost the same values. In the 40–80% range, load and load values were entirely parallel for each load observed from the engine performance of the brake power in all samples.

The replacement of substances that favor the manufacturing of utility blocks ingredients is unpredictable in modern research. The experimental approach structured for the present investigation considered partial substitution of the cement mantle of a concrete matrix with dried fly ash sediment powder. As exploring innovation in being treated, dye wastewater is used in place of precious potable water for preparing mix ratio. The experimental outcomes were strongly supported by a regression representation at a macrolevel analysis and a scanning electron microscopy analysis at a microstructural level. The correlation coefficient of the developed mathematical models exhibited a dependable correlation of more than 90%. This shows the reliability of the developed regression equation for base strength predictions. Accordingly, the eventual safer and optimal limit of proportioning such a foreign matter like the dried fly ash sediment powder usage is controlled, not exceeding 9% by weight of cement mantle. However, due to the infused sediment particles within the treated effluents, the potable water is 100% replaced without sacrificing the basic quality. The administration of this dye effluent in artificially constructed wetland methods is designed for sustainable water conservation.

Wire Cut Electric Discharge Machining (WCEDM) is a novel method for machining different materials with application of electrical energy by the movement of wire electrode. For this work, an AZ61 magnesium alloy with reinforcement of boron carbide and silicon carbide in different percentage levels was used and a plate was formed through stir casting technique. The process parameters of the stir casting process are namely reinforcement %, stirring speed, time of stirring, and process temperature. The specimens were removed from the casted AZ61 magnesium alloy composites through the Wire Cut Electric Discharge Machining (WCEDM) process, the material removal rate and surface roughness vales were carried out creatively. L 16 orthogonal array (OA) was used for this work to find the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness. The process parameters of WCEDM are pulse on time (105, 110, 115 and 120 µs), pulse off time (40, 50, 60 and 70 µs), wire feed rate (2, 4, 6 and 8 m/min), and current (3, 6, 9 and 12 Amps). Further, this study aimed to estimate the maximum ultimate tensile strength and micro hardness of the reinforced composites using the Taguchi route.

This study focuses on the properties and process parameters dictating behavioural aspects of friction stir welded Aluminium Alloy AA6061 metal matrix composites reinforced with varying percentages of SiC and B4C. The joint properties in terms of mechanical strength, microstructural integrity and quality were examined. The weld reveals grain refinement and uniform distribution of reinforced particles in the joint region leading to improved strength compared to other joints of varying base material compositions. The tensile properties of the friction stir welded Al-MMCs improved after reinforcement with SiC and B4C. The maximum ultimate tensile stress was around 172.8 ± 1.9 MPa for composite with 10% SiC and 3% B4C reinforcement. The percentage elongation decreased as the percentage of SiC decreases and B4C increases. The hardness of the Al-MMCs improved considerably by adding reinforcement and subsequent thermal action during the FSW process, indicating an optimal increase as it eliminates brittleness. It was seen that higher SiC content contributes to higher strength, improved wear properties and hardness. The wear rate was as high as 12 ± 0.9 g/s for 10% SiC reinforcement and 30 N load. The wear rate reduced for lower values of load and increased with B4C reinforcement. The microstructural examination at the joints reveals the flow of plasticized metal from advancing to the retreating side. The formation of onion rings in the weld zone was due to the cylindrical FSW rotating tool material impression during the stirring action. Alterations in chemical properties are negligible, thereby retaining the original characteristics of the materials post welding. No major cracks or pores were observed during the non-destructive testing process that established good quality of the weld. The results are indicated improvement in mechanical and microstructural properties of the weld.

A lightweight, highly corrosive resistant, and high-strength wrought alloy in the aluminum family is the Aluminium 8006 alloy. The AA8006 alloy can be formed, welded, and adhesively bonded. However, the recommended welding methods such as laser, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas welding), and ultrasonic are more costly. This investigation aims to reduce the cost of welding without compromising joint quality by means of friction stir welding. The aluminum alloy-friendly reinforcement agent zirconia is utilized as particles during the weld to improve the performance of the newly identified material AA8006 alloy in friction stir welding (FSW). The objectives of this research are to identify the level of process parameters for the friction stir welding of AA8006 to reduce the variability by the trial-and-error experimental method, thereby reducing the number of samples needing to be characterized to optimize the process parameters. To enhance the quality of the weld, the friction stir processing concept will be adapted with zirconia reinforcement during welding. The friction stir-processed samples were investigated regarding their mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Vickers microhardness. The welded samples were included in the corrosion testing to ensure that no foreign corrosive elements were included during the welding. The quality of the weld was investigated in terms of its surface morphology, including aspects such as the dispersion of reinforced particles on the welded area, the incorporation of foreign elements during the weld, micro defects or damage, and other notable changes through scanning electron microscopy analysis. The process of 3D profilometry was employed to perform optical microscopy investigation on the specimens inspected to ensure their surface quality and finish. Based on the outcomes, the optimal process parameters are suggested. Future directions for further investigation are highlighted.

In the recent decades, the use of aluminum alloy has significantly enhanced especially in engineering applications extensively used in shipbuilding, aircraft, structural and automobile applications such as crankshaft, connecting rod and piston etc. This paper illustrates a comprehensive investigation on mechanical behavior of AA6061/Titanium diboride (TiB2)/Silicon carbide (SiC) composites joined by friction stir welding using cylindrical pin tool profile. Various sets of metal matrix composites were prepared by varying TiB2/SiC composition percentages in aluminum matrix using stir casting process. This process is followed by welding of samples by controlled input process parameters. Subsequently, microscopic analysis is performed on the various weld zones namely heat affected zone, thermo-mechanically affected zone and stir zone to observe the grain size and distribution of reinforcement ceramic particles in the matrix. Hardness and tensile tests are carried out to assess the strength of the weldment. Results emphasize that the ultimate tensile strength of the welded specimens is proportional to the weight percentage of TiB2 in the matrix. The maximum hardness observed is 135.56 HV which is marginally greater than the aluminum matrix. Percentage elongation also increased by 2.5% thereby improving the weld specimen’s ductile property.

The objective of this work is to find the influence of fiber content, stacking pattern, and their sequence on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites. Hybrid composites in four varieties with five laminae containing different stacking sequences of jute/madar/glass fibers were fabricated using hand-layup technique with glass fiber woven mats as their skin layers that just enclose bio-fibers oriented horizontally. The stacking sequences were GJMJG, GMJMG, GJGJG and GMGMG where G, J, and M represents glass fiber mats, jute, and madar fibers, respectively. The fibers in the core layer were oriented perpendicular to the enclosing adjacent plies and they may be jute/madar fibers depending on the stacking sequence. Load Vs deflection curves show that stress and strain were linear and all the samples fail abruptly except the sample that contains high proportion of madar fibers. Jute fiber layers imparted more strength and energy-absorbing capacity, whilst madar fiber layers imparted more strain and toughness to the composites. Studies showed that intercalation of glass fiber mats as the core and skin layers exhibited a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the composites than other samples. The morphology of the fractured samples exhibited compatibility between matrix and reinforcements.

The dissimilar Modified Friction Stir Clinching (MFSC) process between AA6061-T6 and AA5754-O aluminum alloy sheets was examined. The effect of shoulder feature (scrolled and smooth pinless tools) on the material flow behavior within the weld region is investigated in this study. The results revealed that the scrolled pinless tool (Tool #1) played a significant role in influencing the interlocking mechanism of the joint and a better modification of the internal hooking line was achieved by Tool #1. The tensile/shear fracture of the MFSC spot welds revealed that the shoulder feature had a vital impact on the tensile/shear fracture load. It is found that the tensile/shear load of 5237 N is attained in the sample welded by Tool #1, which was higher than that of the weld made by Tool #2 (4513 N). Ductile failure mode was obtained irrespective of the shoulder feature. The more elongated dimple patterns for the scrolled tool sample confirm the appropriate dispersion of the strengthening precipitates via the intermixed mass flow at the weld bond area.

The friction spot extrusion welding-brazing (FSEW-B) process was employed to join AA5083-H112 aluminum alloy and pure Cu via the use of a Zn interlayer to improve the mechanical properties of the dissimilar joint. The attained data indicated that not only FSEW-B led to the elimination of the keyhole, which is an intrinsic flaw of the Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) process, but also the results showed that adding Zn interlayer was propitious to make less brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) like Al4Cu9 at the Cu/Al interface. More importantly, tensile shear results demonstrated an improvement in the strength and ductility of the FSEW-B weld sample (reached 156.2 MPa), which is attributable to the lack of keyhole defect and brittle IMCs in the joint.

In the recent days, the employ of aluminum alloy has enriched dramatically especially in engineering applications extensively employed in ship building, aerospace, structural, non-structural and automotive applications like driveshaft, wheels, crankshaft, connecting rod, chassis, brake rotors, cylinder blocks and piston etc. The foremost objective of this evaluation is to optimize the impacts of stir casting parameters of Aluminium Alloy AA7178/Si3N4 with response of tensile strength by utilizing Taguchi approach. MINITAB software was employed for conducting the Taguchi analysis. The stir casting parameters of this examination are stirring speed, stirring time and reinforcement percentage. The tensile behaviour of AA7178/Si3N4 composites for varying filler mass proportionate, stirring speed and stirring time were assessed employing a “universal testing machine”, and using a L9 (3)3 Taguchi orthogonal array. The nine samples of trials are employed to estimate the tensile behaviour of the composite material. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is extensively assistance to intimate which parameter is highly impact for this evaluation. Amid those factors, filler content as highly influenced factor to response value followed as stirring time and stirring rpm.

Presently, investigators as well as specialists have come to the decision that biodiesel mixed to the advanced alcohols can be a suitable auxiliary for present condition. Previous surveys have represented that bio diesel as well as advanced alcohol will support for developing the performance as well as disparaging destructive dissipate gases in C.I engine. Present exploration is based on the mixtures of Diesel, Mustard oil and Butanol which are arranged to verify the consequences of mixture towards the performance and Emission features for a C.I engine. In this study, biofuel has been made through solitary phase alkaline transesterification procedure and mixtures of Diesel-Mustard oil and Diesel-Mustard oil-Butanol has been indicated as D90-M10, D80-M20, D80-M10-nB10 and D60-M20-nB20. After this process, the mixtures are examined in a single cylinder, heavy duty C.I engine having graded power yield of 3.93 kW and the output has been compared with pure Diesel. Investigational explorations establishes that mixtures of Mustard oil as well as Butanol can be utilized as a fuel for a heavy duty C.I engine without any modification to the engine.

Optimization of the tribological properties of composites (AA7150/10 wt% WC) manufactured via melt stirring casting route utilizing Taguchi’s S/N analysis was assessed. Taguchi’s approach was employed and L9 orthogonal array was elected for performing the wear tests. The optimum process parameters are determined to minimize the wear characteristics of the composite. Further, ANOVA outcome also exhibits that the sliding distance, applied load and the sliding velocity serves an imperative function in the reduction of wear (gram). The values of the experiments are in accordance with the Taguchi approach.

Graphite is a broadly utilized incorporating content to augment the tribological characteristics of the aluminium alloy based composites (AMCs). Al alloy (AA7178) matrix composite was created with various proportionate of graphite (Gr) content via stir casting process. L16 orthogonal array was utilized to conduct the wear test in Pin-on disk device. The values of the experiments are in accordance with the Taguchi approach. The dry sliding wear aspects were optimized by Signal/Noise ratio and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) analysis. The foremost essential aspects are applied load, which has the uppermost contribution of 50%, followed by a sliding distance factor with a 17.5% contribution, a volume concentration factor with a 5% contribution, and a sliding speed aspect with a contribution of 2.5% on composite specimens. ANOVA analysis outcome exhibits that, the weight proportionate of incorporating content has the superior proportionate of contribution to impact the wear rate of the AMCs.

Novel inventions and scientific needs in automobile and aircraft sectors ask for modified nonferrous alloy-based composites. The foremost reason of this present experimental work is to evaluate the mechanical characterization of composite materials that were synthesized by a stir casting technique. AA7050 is chosen as matrix material and coconut shell ash (CSA) particles as reinforcement. The base alloy and proposed composite samples were subjected to hardness and tensile test. Metallurgical characterization of parent material and synthesized material were inspected via scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mechanical properties like micro-hardness (HV) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the developed composite materials were improved after the addition of reinforcement content.
