The word “Waste” normally emphasis something around us which should be re-cycle, re-
used, reduced or even eliminated, if possible. A giant amount of waste, such as …

Foundry operation has many interlinked and complex processes that require skill and
caution to ensure good quality of castings. The complex production processes and variables …

Manufacturing systems are generally subject to product quality deterioration as a result of
degradation of machine tooling-components, and thus tooling-component replacement has …

This paper deals with the application of Six-Sigma methodology to the flywheel casting
process in foundry to minimize the defects in this process. The primary tools used in this …

The foundry environment is dynamic and unpredictable. Variability in casting processes is
usually due to complex interactions of many process variables. The effort in monitoring these …

This study was applied in a welding wire manufacturing plant to improve the quality of the
manufactured welding wires, reducethe manufacturing waste and increase the yield of the …

The study investigates the relationship between quality management practices (QMPs),
quality management system (QMS), firm performance and competitive positioning in the …

X-ray flaw detection is a key link in the detection of internal defects in titanium alloy castings
which are used for most important components in aeroengines. However, the existing …

This article proposes a generalizable, data-driven framework for qualifying laser powder bed
fusion additively manufactured parts using part-specific in situ data, including powder bed …

This paper proposes an AI-based detection method called ACED (Anomaly Candidate
Extraction and Detection) that can find tiny defects efficiently by inspecting the surface of cast …
