On line monitoring of quality of friction surfacing

Abstract

Quality of deposition during friction surfacing depends on a number of parameters. With instrumentation many of these parameters can be observed in real time. Monitoring of these parameters allows one to incorporate necessary corrections, whenever, that parameters goes out of the safe domain. Present investigation aims at the potential of monitoring some of these parameters online and the quality of the deposition. It is observed that spindle speed and torque are not effective parameters whereas monitoring material consumption or height of the consumable friction tool is very much useful in monitoring the quality of the deposition. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
