    This research studies on optimization of solid-state copper brazing condition and comparatively investigates the ability of the desirability function and genetic algorithm (GA) optimization schemes with regard to the optimal brazing condition that yields the maximum brazed-joint tensile shear force, where the brazing parameters included the brazing temperature, holding time and loading pressure. To that end, a second-order mathematical model was first derived based on the Box–Behnken experimental design and the maximum-response desirability function. The findings suggested that the tensile shear force of the brazed joints was significantly influenced by all three brazing parameters. The optimal brazing condition was at 620 °C brazing temperature, 30-min holding time and 12.173 kPa loading pressure. The desirability function- and GA-predicted optimal brazing conditions were effectively identical, thus confirming the comparable power of both optimization schemes. Further experiments were conducted to validate the optimization outcomes, whereby the confirmation tests were carried out under the optimal brazing condition. The results suggest that both optimization schemes are viable for solid-state copper brazing, with the GA demonstrating a slightly higher prediction accuracy.

    The aim of this research was to determine an optimal cutting condition of dimensional accuracy and surface roughness for finishing cut of wire-EDMed K460 tool steel. The cutting variables investigated in this study encompassed cutting speed, peak current, and offset distance. Box-Behnken design was employed as the experimental strategy, and multiple response optimization on dimensional accuracy and surface roughness was performed using the desirability function. Results showed that both peak current and offset distance have a significant effect on the dimension of the specimen while peak current alone affects the surface roughness. The optimal cutting condition was at 2 A peak current and 772 μm offset distance. Since neither dimension nor surface roughness was affected by cutting speed, the speed was thus set at the highest of 5.5 mm/min to maximize the production rate. Confirmation tests on the optimal cutting condition were executed by which all cut specimens were shown to be within the specifications. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
