Abstract

In a manufacturing company, the quality loss is estimated by considering the number of defects. Taguchi is a method that finds strong conditions in uncontrollable environments of the field. Taguchi quantifies quality loss through a quality loss function. The Taguchi method particularly is focused on industrial processes. The method is actualizing quality philosophy for continuous quality improvement and cost reduction to improve manufacturing performance. The analysis is designed using Taguchi technique which is related to quality. A high-quality product has a minimal defect. The Taguchi method is used to analyze several defects of ammunition to reduce the number of ammunition defects. Ammunition consists of several parts are called projectile or bullet, cartridge case, propellant charge, and primer. Every part of its process possibly contributes to any defect. The defect type in every part of ammunition consists of critical, major, and minor defects. This paper is focused on cartridge case caliber 5.56 mm defect by using the Taguchi method. The quality characteristic of the experiment result used is smaller the better. Critical to Quality (CTQ) is determined to get a critical defect for cartridge cases such as split and perforated case. The influencing factors are brass cup thickness, hardness case after annealing, and annealing temperature. The Taguchi method is effective in reducing defects for the ammunition process to produce a good quality product.

Abstract

Corrosion is a material degradation due to electrochemical reactions involving electrical current. Corrosion cannot be avoided but it can be managed. This work investigated the influence of holding time and temperature variation for the homogenization process of Zinc (Zn) alloy. This zinc alloy is used as a sacrificial anode to decrease the corrosion rate of API 5L X65 steel. The investigation was performed with 3 varied holding times of 2, 4 and 6 hours of homogenization process while the temperature was varied at 150, 250 and 350ºC. After that, a zinc alloy with a size of 40mm x 0.44 mm x 10 mm was connected to a cathode.  Together with steel, both metals formed galvanic cells in this study. The metal with lower electricity potential became the anode and corroded. On the other hand, metal with higher electrical potential became the cathode and did not corrode. The lowest corrosion rate was obtained for homogenization at 150ºC and 2 hours holding time. At this condition, the corrosion rate decreased by 38.36%. This occurred since higher temperatures and longer holding time of Zinc homogenization resulted in bigger and rougher grains.

Abstract

The technology of paint and its application develop fast, driven by the increasing cost of energy, raw material and labors. In this study, paint was used as a corrosion inhibitor on the surface of API 5L while saltwater is used as the corrosive media. The coating was varied for three different cases, i.e. primary coating only, primary and color coating as well as primary, color and glossy coating. Meanwhile, surface roughness was varied for 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 μm. It is concluded that surface roughness and coating influence the corrosion rate. Smoother the surface and more coating layers lower the corrosion rate. Based on the study on API 5L steel, the lowest corrosion rate was obtained at 0.6 μm with 3 paint coatings (primary, color paint and clear/gloss)

Abstract

A conveyor belt is one type of goods transportation in technological processes, particularly in the mining industry. The belt is the important material and principal part of the conveyor belt. The overall quality of the conveyor belt as its service life and impact loads are very important factors. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to classify the types of impact damage that may occur in rubber-textile conveyor belts. In many works, many types of conveyor belts are tested at various levels and the type of impacting material. The level of damage occurred is investigated by using probability theory. Particularly, the evaluation of experimental test data and predictive modeling is carried out using the Naïve Bayes classification.
