Although fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most widely used material-extrusion AM process, the mechanical performance and productivity of parts produced by FDM are sensitive to process parameter settings which are often selected by trial and error. In this paper, the Taguchi method was used to optimize four FDM pr...

In this paper, an experimental optimization of cutting parameters in computer numerical control (CNC) milling of mild steel with the Taguchi method of robust design is presented. Three control factors, spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut, were selected and tested at three levels each, and arranged in Taguchi L9(3...

There is a set of process variables that defines the quality of a gas metal arc weld (GMAW) joint. The iteration of these process variables to find the optimum setting is time-consuming and does not have a statistical basis. The Taguchi method of robust parameter design is used to determine the optimum combination of w...

Coal-fired power stations remain critical to electricity security in Zimbabwe, yet their contribution is weakened when boiler failures increase forced outages, maintenance costs and generation instability. This paper improves and consolidates a case study of Local Thermal Power Station Stage 2 in Zimbabwe, by developin...
