摘要
This study applies fuzzy-base Taguchi method to investigate the optimal process parameters of the multiple performance characteristics index (MPCI) for the hot extrusion process of AZ61 magnesium alloy products. Flattening strength, fracture strength and extrusion load are taken as the input data of MPCI. Since the optimal combination of process parameters for Taguchi method varies with individual quality characteristic, the optimal combination of parameters for different quality characteristics may be contradictory to each other. In order to consider the larger-the-better quality characteristic of flattening strength and T-slot fracture strength values as well as the smaller-the-better quality characteristic of extrusion load, the fuzzy-base Taguchi method is used to analyze and to obtain the optimal combination of process parameters for the MPCI. First of all, orthogonal array is applied to arrange the experimental combination of extrusion process. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios of the three quality characteristics of flattening strength, T-slot fracture strength and extrusion load for the products acquired from experiments are calculated. The S/N ratio serves as the input variable of fuzzy control unit, whereas MPCI serves as a single output variable. The acquired MPCI is employed to analyze the optimal process parameters. In this study, an optimal combination of process parameters of AZ61 carrier for MPCI is obtained, and the verification experiments are conducted to prove the accuracy. Moreover, mechanical properties of AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloy carriers are tested for further comparison.
