Abstract: With
modern analytical and computational techniques it is
often possible to estimate the effects of various
process parameters of deep cold rolling on the fatigue
life and residual compressive stress to which the
component is subjected in service. However, there are
numerous parameters to be considered and, very
importantly, the effects of each of these parameters may
well be themselves dependent on other variables. This
interaction between variables would make the normal
approach of a parametric study followed by simple
inspection of the results prohibitively complex for any
more than two or possibly three variables. Therefore the
methodology of statistical experimental design has been
developed to address such problems where multiple,
interacting variables with significant experimental
variation make interpretation of the data complex and
difficult. So, this paper focuses on implementing the
design of experiment (DOE) based approach in order to
optimize the turn-assisted deep cold rolling process
parameters. In this work, prime focus is given on
maximizing the fatigue life of the component processed
with turn-assisted deep cold rolling process. Analysis
of various critical process parameters and the
interaction among them is carried out with the help of
central composite experimental design (CCD). To optimize
the results obtained and to make the analysis more
precise and cost effective, response surface methodology
(RSM) and desirability function approach (DFA) is
incorporated. The optimized parameters obtained using
CCD and RSM are then tested with the help of
confirmation experiments.
