Abstract: Authors tried to construct multimedia base support system of the manufacturing process with use of the knowledge base and the inference engine on the www server. This knowledge database systematized the knowledge which was obtained from the document and the skilled engineer as much as possible by using a knowledge engineering technique. However, it is difficult for beginner to find the best processing condition under the condition of the material, the machine and the tool on grinding operation by using the conventional database. Especially, when they encountered the manufacturing condition which is not built into the conventional data base, the past optimum conditions cannot be obtained from the expert system. The best method of obtaining the optimum conditions as the solution of this problem is to execute some experiments for this new case. This research proposed the system, which presented a minimum combination of the multi factor experiments for the best manufacturing condition search by using the Taguchi method. We were able to obtain the best condition to use the proposed robust engineering by only 18 times.

Abstract: Induction surface hardening creates very desirable residual stresses in the hardened surface layer. Residual stresses are always of a compressive nature and are usually present to the depth of the induction-hardened layer. By the appropriate selection of grinding wheel and grinding conditions and taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of the workpiece material very favourable compressive residual stresses in the hardened surface layer can be retained. How is it possible to assure a desirable surface and surface layer quality after induction hardening and fine grinding Finding an answer to this question requires a very good knowledge of the process of grinding on the micro-level as well as knowledge of mechanical and heat effects acting on the layer of the workpiece including the type and condition of the grinding wheel. An allinclusive consideration of the numerous influences of the kind and condition of the tool on the changes on the surface and in the surface layer of the workpiece in the given machining conditions is described by the term “surface integrity”.
