Optimization of Parameters for Recycling of Steel Process by Grey Taguchi Technique

Abstract

Optimization of process parameters of multiple response characteristics on secondary steel recycling by using Grey Taguchi technique is presented in this paper. Response characteristics such as Tensile strength, Hardness and Energy Consumption are optimized during the process. The investigation was carried out by considering the significant process parameters like furnace temperature, sponge steel, scrap steel composition, TDS of water used and Quenching temperature of steel. Based on DOE, 46 experiments were conducted. The response characteristics are analyzed using Grey Taguchi and optimal combination of significant influential parameters are obtained. Based on the response table, process parameter furnace temperature has highest influence whereas scrap steel composition has the lowest influence on the output. According to the results of verification experiments, it was concluded that Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis can be efficiently used to find the optimal combination of significant input parameters to get enhanced output of objective function for secondary steel recycling process.
