The present research has been done to investigate the influence of different input process parameters on the desired response (flux consumption) in the submerged arc welding process. Fractional factorial technique has been used to design the experiment to reduce the number of runs. The effects of welding current, arc voltage, travel speed and nozzle to plate distance have been found on the flux consumption. The Design Expert software has been used to obtain relationship between the respons...

Lean Manufacturing is defined as efficient approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non–value add activities) through regular improvement flowing the product in the pull of the customer in reach of perfection. Lean manufacturing is often simply "lean", is a systematical method for the leave out of waste ("Muda") within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into account waste created through overwhelm ("Muri") and waste created through imperfection in workloads ("Mu...

Friction welding is a solid state joining process used for joining of different metals that provides similar welding properties as like parent metal properties. In this welding process no filler metal is required and thus it’s a emissions less process. In this experiment for the purpose to joining of pieces include the generation of heat with the help of friction. Due to this pressure with variable speeds the tool moves on the work piece for joining of two metals. The soft layer of materia...

Designing a sustainable manufacturing system entail taking into account both financial and environmental restrictions. Business concerns about sustain strategies of commercial and environmental accounting are developing. Still here, different techniques of measure an association's or providing chain's total environmental impact, and there is currently no agreed-upon uniform standard. Energy use's environmental and climate implications are quickly becoming a major challenge for industry and...

All Americans, liberal or conservative, religious or not, can agree that religious freedom, anchored in conscience rights, is foundational to the U.S. democratic experiment. But what freedom of conscience means, what its scope and limits are, according to the Constitution—these are matters for heated debate. At a moment when such questions loom ever larger in the nation’s contentious politics and fraught policy-making process, this timely book offers invaluable historical, empirical, philo...

The approach is u...

Designing in sand casting is a critical activity for manufacturing. Further, activities like cavity design, cavity layout and design of gating system are essential in design. Design of gating system in sand casting is dependent upon a various parameters. Gating system design requires lot of manual input and a number of iterations to finalize the design. This requires a good knowledge of casting process, making this activity completely dependent on the user. In present day industry, lot of ...
