Inconel 718 alloy, widely used as material of aircraft engine, has a good mechanical property in high temperature, strong anti-oxidation characteristics in oxidated current over $900^{\circ}C$, and also is not easily digested in the air containing sulfur, therefore, its usage as mechanical component is expanding rapidly. Even though Inconel alloy 718 is difficult to machine, it requires highly precise processing/machining to sustain its component quality of high accuracy. In this paper, general turning operation conditions arc tested to select the best cutting process condition by measuring surface roughness through implementing experiments with orthogonal array of cutting speed, feeding speed and cutting depth as processing parameters based on the Taguchi method. Optimal turning operation conditions are extracted from the proposed experimental models.

Torsional oscillations of the drivetrain in electric vehicles are generated under rapid driving conditions. These lead to an uncomfortable jerking of the vehicle and an increased stress of the mechanical components. To suppress torsional oscillations, the low pass and notch filters between the torque command from the acceleration pedal and electric motor input torque are suggested. The filter parameters are optimized based on Taguchi method with $L_{18}(3^5)$ orthogonal array. The signal to noise (S/N) ratio mainly depends on slew rate of motor input torque, damping ratio and natural frequency of notch filter. With the proposed suppression control scheme, the S/N ratio is shown to be increased by 4.7dB and the torque overshoot of the drive shaft is reduced to 30%.

In this paper, minimal balanced $2^t$ fractional factorial designs which permit the estimation of main effects and 2-factor interactions are developed by using a partially balanced array. Such designs are characterized by a minimum number of runs and some balancedness property of the variance-covariance matrix of the estimates. In addition to describing the designs, optimality criteria are discussed and the trace-optimal designs are presented. The proposed designs are especially useful in Taguchi method, where we need to investigate up to 2-factor interactions of the control factors.

This paper has studied to obtain the grinding characteristics and optimal grinding conditions of ceramics in the grinding with diamond wheel by Taguchi method. Feed rate was most important factor to the surface roughness. In the case of 4{Si_3}{N_4}$ and ${A1_2}{O_3}$, surface roughness value were small at 3m/min of feed rate. In the case of $ZrO_2$. surface roughness value was small at 4m/min of feed rate. Surface roughness have much influenced by major load for the :ii3N4 and $ZrO_2$. On the other hand, ${A1_2}{O_3}$ have more influenced by grain shedding of brittle fracture phenomenon. The major factors affecting the surface roughness and the optimum grinding conditions were obtained with minimum experiment using Taguchi method.

In the present work, Taguchi method for electron beam welding(EBW) process in AISI 4130 steel plate has been adopted for investigating the contribution of effect of welding variables. $A L_8(2^7)$ orthogonal array is adopted to obtain the effect of adjustment parameters. The adjustment parameters consist of accelerating voltage, beam current, travel speed and focus currrent. And the quality features selected for the EBW process are bead width of weldment, reinforcement, penetration depth, undercut and area of weld metal. Variance analysis is performed in order to check the effect of adjustment parameters on EBW. The mechanical properties of electron beam welded joints for each heat treatment conditions are investigated in comparison with those of base metal, especially from the view point of tensile and impact properties.

In this paper, the experimental design of an intake system was studied using the two microphones method and the taguchi method. The transmission loss was utilized to represent the performance of noise reduction for the intake system which was estimated by measuring sound power at inlet and outlet with two microphones, respectively. Two microphones method used in this paper was followed by wave decomposition theory The robust designing parameters of an intake system were extracted by adapting a cost function with the taguchi method, which optimized the process. Finally the effectiveness of the propose method was validated with the experimental data.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of factors on the dynamic stiffness variation of boring bar. The experiment was carried out by Taguchi Method and Orthogonal array table. The results indicate that overhang was found out to be dominant factor with 95% confident intervals and feed rate and depth of cut were insignificant. In addition, analysis of loss function shows that loss value increased sharply from 3D to 4D(D is a shank diameter). Consequently, there is critical point which changes property of dynamic stiffness.

Application of ceramic has increased due to excellent mechanical properties, and machining of ceramic has demanded gradually a precision surface machining. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of IED lapping parameters is very important. This paper deal with the analysis of the process parameters such as applied forces, percentage of h-BN and IED lapping time, developed based on Taguchi method. Also, SEM was used for monitoring of a machinable ceramic surface.

This paper presents a dynamic modeling and a robust PID controller design process for the wire bonder head assembly. For modeling elements, the system is divided into electrical part, magnetic part, and mechanical part. Each part is modeled using the bond graph method. The PID controller is used for high speed/high accuracy position control of the wire bonder assembly. The Taguchi method is used to obtain the more robust PID gain combinations than conventional one. This study makes use of an L18 array with three parameters varied on three levels. Results of simulations and experimental show that the designed PID controller provides a improved ratio of signal to noise and a reduced sensitivity improved to the conventional PID controller.

3D Welding and Milling is a solid freeform fabrication process which is based on the combination of welding as additive and conventional milling as subtractive technique. This hybrid approach enables direct building of metallic parts with high accuracy and surface finish. Although it needs further improvements it shows an application potential in rapid tooling of injection mold inserts as the investigation results show. To optimize the process for higher surface quality and accuracy effectively Taguchi method is applied to the experimental investigation. in this way relationships between process parameters and final product qualities such as tensile strength and surface hardness are found with minimal efforts.
