TL;DR: In this article, tensile strength, modulus of rupture, and impact resistance were found for different layer orientations of ABS rapid prototype solid models, fabricated by a Stratasys rapid prototyping machine.
Abstract: Tensile strength, modulus of rupture, and impact resistance were found for different layer orientations of ABS rapid prototype solid models. The samples were fabricated by a Stratasys rapid prototyping machine in five different layer orientations. The 0° orientation where layers were deposited along the length of the samples displayed superior strength and impact resistance over all the other orientations. The anisotropic properties were probably caused by weak interlayer bonding and interlayer porosity.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach based on the Taguchi method with grey relational analysis for optimizing turning operations with multiple performance characteristics was proposed, including tool life, cutting force, and surface roughness.
Abstract: This article addresses an approach based on the Taguchi method with grey relational analysis for optimizing turning operations with multiple performance characteristics. A grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis is used to solve the turning operations with multiple performance characteristics. Optimal cutting parameters can then be determined by the Taguchi method using the grey relational grade as the performance index. Tool life, cutting force, and surface roughness are important characteristics in turning. Using these characteristics, the cutting parameters, including cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are optimized in the study. Experimental results have been improved through this approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the main focused aim of developing new processing and manufacturing technologies are to reduce production or manufacturing costs, processing times, and to enhance manufactured product properties, and the developed processing techniques should be widely acceptable for all types of materials including metal matrix composites, ceramics, alloys, and fiber reinforced plastics.
Abstract: The main focused aim of developing new processing and manufacturing technologies are to reduce production or manufacturing costs, processing times, and to enhance manufactured product properties. The developed processing techniques should be widely acceptable for all types of materials including metal matrix composites, ceramics, alloys, and fiber reinforced plastics. Microwave materials processing is emerging as a novel processing technology which is applicable to a wide variety of materials system including processing of MMC, FRP, alloys, ceramics, metals, powder metallurgy, material joining, coatings, and claddings. In comparison to the conventional processes, microwave processing of materials offers better mechanical properties with reduced defects and economical advantages in terms of power and time savings. The present review work focuses mainly on global developments taking place in the field of microwave processing of materials and their relevant industrial applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an up-to-date review of progress and benefits of different routes for fabrication and machining of composites and conclude that polycrystalline tools and diamond-coated tools are best suitable for various conventional machining operations.
Abstract: Intrinsically smart, metal matrix composites (MMCs) are lightweight and high-performance materials having ever expanding industrial applications. The structural and the functional properties of these materials can be altered as per the industrial demands. The process technologies indulged in fabrication and machining of these materials attract the researchers and industrial community. Hybrid electric discharge machining is a promising and the most reliable nonconventional machining process for MMCs. It exhibits higher competence for machining complex shapes with greater accuracy. This paper presents an up-to-date review of progress and benefits of different routes for fabrication and machining of composites. It reports certain practical analysis and research findings including various issues on fabrication and machining of MMCs. It is concluded that polycrystalline tools and diamond-coated tools are best suitable for various conventional machining operations. High speed, small depth of cut and low feed ra...
