Multi-Criteria Optimization of Yarn Guide Manufacturing Processes
Source abstract
Abstract
Due to the insufficient durability (wear resistance) of guides made of 50SiCr4 steel tempered to a hardness of 400 HB, 14 variants of the yarn guide manufacturing process were developed. The ring spinner yarn guides were manufactured from three types of steel, from Al99.5% and its alloys, as well as from porcelain, Al2O3 sinter, and WC 94% + Co 6% tungsten carbide. The unit manufacturing cost and six manufacturing quality criteria were used as evaluation criteria: four parameters of the geometric structure of the surface and the maximum surface hardness, as well as the depth of hardening of the surface layer. The presented variants were then evaluated against the seven criteria, determining a set of optimal solutions in the Pareto sense. This set consisted of 12 variants. A distance function was then used to select the best manufacturing process variant, corresponding to the smallest value of the distance function. In this study, this is the process variant for which the semi-finished product is a drawn bar ø6 mm of C45 steel tempered to a hardness of 350 HB with a glazed porcelain insert. The alternative process, with a slightly higher distance function value, is the variant with the Al2O3 ceramic sinter insert.
