An Investigation of Oxy-Fuel Cutting of Mild Steel using Principle Component Analysis and Taguchi Technique

Abstract

Oxy fuel cutting process is most widely used in manufacturing and fabrication industries. The properties of the cut pieces are to be studied, in order to have high quality characteristics. In this investigation, mild steel is employed for oxy fuel cutting process and the parameters, viz., oxygen pressure, nozzle to plate distance and cutting speed have been undertaken. Principal Component Analysis coupled with Taguchi method was employed for analyzing the responses. Optimal parameters were identified by maximizing the Composite Principle Component, comprising the multiple responses.
