The Use of Taguchi Technique to Optimize the Compression Moulding Cycle to Process Acetabular Cup Components
Abstract
Taguchi technique is a powerful method of solving engineering problems in order to improve the performance of a process and to enhance the productivity. The methodology for the design of the experiment is proposed in order to find the best parameters for better experimental results with less number of experiments as possible. In this study, Taguchi technique was applied to optimize the compression moulding cycle for processing the acetabular cup prototype. For the design of the experiments, three main factors such as processing temperature, pressure and the time of compaction were identified which directly influence the quality of the final product. For each factor three levels were considered and an orthogonal array L9 was associated. With the L9 orthogonal array, a total of 9 trial experiments have been performed and the optimum parameters were identified. An experimental test was performed in order to validate the founded conditions. The optimized conditions encountered were: processing temperature of 160 degrees C, processing pressure of 1000 psi and the compaction time of 90 s. With these optimized parameters, the acetabular cup prototypes were processed for nanocomposites having ultra-high molecular weight (UHMWPE) reinforced with different volume fractions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the range of 0.2 to 2.0 vol.%.
