Traditional manual scheduling cannot effectively solve the complex workshop scheduling problems and cannot provide a scheduling solution that meets the requirements in a short period of time, which can lead to a decrease in processing efficiency. Aiming at the complex job shop scheduling problem, the genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal scheduling solution in this study, taking the number of overdue jobs, the total overdue time, the job completion time, the comprehensive load rate and the maximum load rate of the machine tool as the performance indicators of the scheduling algorithm. The chromosomes are designed as process gene chain and equipment gene chain to improve the diversity and the robustness to scheduling problems of chromosome through crossover, variation, selection and other processes. The impact of different parameter settings on the performance indicators of each scheduling algorithm is researched by adjusting the four algorithm-related parameters, and there has been a certain improvement in the results of the scheduling problems. This study provides a reference for the design and optimization of production scheduling algorithm based on genetic algorithm.","PeriodicalId":51873,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57965400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wear properties were investigated using a tribometer whilst corrosion in 0.3 M H 2 SO 4 and 3.5%NaCl media was studied using the potentiodynamic polarization method. The microstructure of the alloys mainly consists of FCC Cu-rich phase and Cu 5 Zn 8 phase. The up-quenched A alloys show the highest hardness and lowest wear rate values of 72.1 HRB and 0.143 mm 3 /N/m respectively. Average COF was higher for the samples subjected to direct-quenching (0.35–0.12) than the up-quenched (0.16–0.12) and step-quenched (0.2–0.08) samples. Wear occurred by mixed mode mechanisms of abrasion and adhesion evident by grooves and wear particles on the surface. In 0.3 M H 2 SO 4 medium, step-quenched alloys had corrosion rates in the range of 0.1022 to 1.1705 mm/yr, which is lower than the range of 0.1466 to 0.2855 mm/yr, and 0.1730 to 0.6027 mm/yr obtained for direct quenched and up-quenched samples respectively. In 3.5% NaCl solution, step-quenched alloys had the lowest corrosion rates 0.0251 mm/yr relative to samples subjected to up-quenching and direct quenching treatment. Generally, step-quenching treatment effectively improved the corrosion resistance of alloys in both media.","PeriodicalId":51873,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135609275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MSBA is usually evaluated based on the allowable wear or the stiffness independently combined with the vibration characteristics. Therefore, it is very important to determine the service life of MSBA when the wear reaches the allowable value, and the stiffness is reduced to the allowable value. This paper studies the simultaneous relationship of wear, stiffness, and vibration characteristics of MSBA in a CNC lathe. The results show that the service life of MSBA is different when evaluated based on each criterion (wear or stiffness). The stiffness of the MSBA is reduced to the allowable limit [J] = 200 N/μm with a Root Mean Square (RMS) value of about 5.75 mm/s2. The wear of the MSBA reaches the allowable limit [δa] = 5 μm with an RMS value of about 4.5 mm/s2. The life of MSBA calculated according to the stiffness criterion is about 1.18 times higher than that calculated based on the wear criterion. The average life of MSBA with standard lubrication according to the wear criterion reaches ∼15,799 h and RMS reaches ∼2.4508 mm/s2.","PeriodicalId":51873,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57965098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microstructure was characterised by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis to determine the distribution and phases of particles smaller than a micron. Wear tests were conducted on all the samples at varying loads and speeds. Hardness and tensile strength of Al7010 alloy were improved by adding B4C particles sized 20–25 microns, with only a minor decrease in elongation. Further, as B4C particles accumulated, the density of the Al7010 alloy decreased. SEM examination revealed a wide range of fracture behaviours upon tensile stress.

These technologies offer new ways to generate revenue from data-driven services and enable predictive maintenance based on real-time data analytics. They also provide autonomous manufacturing scheduling and resource allocation facilitated by cloud computing technologies and the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). Although the fourth industrial revolution has been underway for more than a decade, the manufacturing sector is still grappling with the process of upgrading manufacturing systems and processes to Industry 4.0-conforming technologies and standards. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in particular, cannot always afford to replace their legacy systems with state-of-the-art machines but must look for financially viable alternatives. One such alternative is retrofitting, whereby old manufacturing systems are upgraded with sensors and IoT components to integrate them into a digital workflows across an enterprise. Unfortunately, to date, the scope and systematic process of legacy system retrofitting, and integration are not well understood and currently represent a large gap in the literature. In this article, the authors present an in-depth systematic review of case studies and available literature on legacy system retrofitting. A total of 32 papers met the selection criteria and were particularly relevant to the topic. Three digital retrofitting approaches are identified and compared. The results include insights common technologies used in retrofitting, hardware and software components typically required, and suitable communication protocols for establishing interoperability across the enterprise. These form an initial basis for a theoretical decision-making framework and associated retrofitting guide tool to be developed.","PeriodicalId":51873,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57964822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fused tracks were produced over a wide range of laser powers and scanning speeds, and layers were fused at varied hatch distances. The samples were analysed for continuity of the fused tracks, melting and distribution of the Mo powder particles in the Ti10Mo alloy layers, surface roughness, homogeneity of Mo in the alloy matrix and microhardness. The analysis revealed that the Mo powder particles melted completely in the alloy matrix with only pockets of Mo concentrations, mostly at the peripheries of the fused tracks due to the pushing effect. Complete melting of Mo in the Ti10Mo alloy matrix was due to the small size (1 μm) of the Mo powder particles used in the current experiment. The addition of Mo enhanced the wetting of the powder bed and prevented a pronounced balling effect. From this study, the parameter sets 150 W, 0.5 m/s and 200 W, 1.0 m/s both at a hatch distance of 80 μm, were obtained as the optimum process parameters. However, the Mo concentrations at the peripheries of the molten pool indicated that further research was required before a ‘completely’ homogenous sample could be manufactured via the LPBF process using elemental powder blends.","PeriodicalId":51873,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Review","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57965064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
