Abstract

The number of studies on green manufacturing has increased over the past years and particular focus has been placed on machining processes and the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This paper reports the results of the use of a modeling approach that combines Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Design of Experiments (DOE) to investigate a cylindrical plunge grinding for 21-2N steel. The effect of two process parameters on the LCA results of the grinding machining was studied through an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The parameters investigated were type of CBN grinding wheel (JB126 K150 VSS and 8B126 K150 VT2) and different levels of specific material removal rate (50, 100, 150 and 200 mm/mm.min). 2015 The Authors.

1. Introduction

Sustainable manufacturing (SM) aims at the integration of sustainability aspects on a manufacturing level. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, SM refers to the creation of products that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities and consumers and economically sound [1]. Green manufacturing (GM) is part of the SM [1, 2] related to the necessity of increases in material and energy efficiency and reduction in environmental impacts of manufacturing processes.

The practical implementation of SM and GM strategies has faced some limitations, e.g., the manufacturing industry lacks scientifically-based decision support tools for their effective implementation [1, 3, 4]. However, in recent years, SM and GM studies have placed particular focus on the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a tool to overcome such a technical barrier [2, 3, 4].

1.1. LCA and DOE in manufacturing processes

LCAs have been performed in unit processes on a factory level, mainly for machining operations, as milling [5, 6], turning [7], and grinding [3, 7-10]. However, the isolated use of LCA may not be enough to support SM and GM strategies [1, 3] and extend research on the topic. Thus, engineering concepts and techniques, such as Design of Experiments (DOE) have been recently applied towards the creation of cleaner production processes, and some examples will be addressed in the next paragraphs.

DOE was introduced by Sir R. A. Fisher and is particularly important to investigate the effects of simultaneous and multiple variables (factors) on an output variable (response) [11]. When applying DOE to subsidize GM strategies, some researchers have analyzed the effects of a number of variables on the processes and/or products performance. Some recent applications of DOE to the development of GM strategies involve metal cutting, milling and turning [12-15], and wood

cutting processes [16], as described in the following paragraphs.

Fratila and Caizer [12] reduced the machining energy consumption by applying a Taguchis DOE approach and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to select optimal lubrication and cutting conditions in the face-milling of AIMg3. To achieve the minimum power consumption and the best surface quality simultaneously, Hanafi et al. [13] adopted a Taguchis DOE approach and ANOVA to optimize cutting parameters when machining PEEK-CF30 with TiN tools. Bhushan [14] applied a DOE based on response surface methodology (RSM) and ANOVA to optimize four cutting parameters, minimize power consumption and maximize the tool life in the machining of Al alloy SiC particle composites. Camposeco-Negrete [15] applied the Taguchi method and ANOVA to optimize cutting parameters and reduce electricity consumption in the AISI 6061 T6 turning process. More recently, Chompu-inwai et al. [16] studied a Fishers classical DOE approach and ANOVA to reduce materials consumption and minimize waste in the cutting process of a wood products manufacturing company.

The above literature has shown most of the studies focused on the optimization of energy consumption in manufacturing operations. Thus, aiming to extend research on the topic the current study combines DOE and LCA as detailed below.

1.2. Objective

This paper evaluates a combined modeling approach of LCA and DOE to investigate a cylindrical plunge grinding process of 21-2N steel. DOE was used to evaluate how changes in the process parameters (factors) can affect the LCA results (responses) of the machining process.

2. Methodology

The present research aims at continuing prior studies on GM topics conducted by the research groups Life Cycle Management and Engineering (LCM&E) and Laboratory for Advanced Processes and Sustainability (LAPRAS), at the University of So Paulo (USP), Brazil.

This study is based on the cylindrical plunge grinding process described by Silva and Oliveira [17]. All the dataset of the experiments were extracted from Silva and Oliveira [17] and used in the combined LCA and DOE approach.

The workpieces were made of 21-2N steel, which is an austenitic nitrogen-strengthened stainless steel used in a variety of applications, e.g., aerospace turbine engines, exhausted valves. Test specimens of cylindrical shape, 150 mm long, and 25.4 mm external diameter were used [17].

The machine tool was a CNC external cylindrical grinder, coupled with measuring devices regarding electric energy consumption. The wheel cutting was 80 m/s, the workpiece rotation was 200 r/min and the grinding width was 5 mm [17].

The grinding parameters (or factors) selected for evaluation in the present research were type of grinding wheel and specific material removal rate (Qw).

Regarding the DOE approach, it followed the principle of circularity of the PDCA cycle, as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. DOE and the PDCA cycle. A DOE begins by defining the null hypothesis (H0) and the

significance level () in the Plan (P) step of a research. Experiments are then conducted for each treatment considering all factors and replicates during step Do (D). In the Check (C) step, H0 is tested to check if the mean value of a response from a population under investigation (treatment) is the same or different from the mean value of another population. Finally, in the Action (A) step, the conclusions are taken based on the aim and scope of the study.

DOE was applied in this study by Minitab software version 14 for the evaluation of the grinding process. The value was assumed as 5% and the DOE method was based on the Fishers classical approach and the application of an ANOVA model. The Fishers classical approach was adopted as it is considered more in line for use in comparison to other methods [16]. Finally, a Tukeys test method was used in the ANOVA results as a multiple comparison procedure.

The experimental design was developed according to the two grinding parameters under study and resulted in a total of 120 experiments, as discussed in section 2.1.

2.1. Factors (independent variables)

The factors and their levels were determined for the experiments, as shown in Table 1.

2.2. Responses (dependent variables)

The GaBi Professional version 6 software was used to model the LCA study and the dependent variables investigated were the environmental impacts calculated by the CML 2001 method [18]. It was only inventoried the electrical energy consumption at the wheel spindle motor during the grinding experiments, and the inventory data of the electricity generation was extracted from the GaBi database for the Brazilian context. After that, five environmental impact categories were selected: abiotic depletion (fossil) potential (ADP), acidification potential (AP), freshwater aquatic toxicity potential (FAEP), human toxicity potential (HTP), and global warming potential (GWP).

The functional unit was not defined, and only measurable values for the reference flow were established. Thus, the LCA results were compared in terms of:

x Two different reference flows: a) 1 s of grinding machine operation; and b) 20,000 mm removed material per grinding test, i.e., a complete machining of one workpiece. This comparison showed if the statistical conclusions of the DOE approach would be affected by the change in the LCAs reference flow for the same experiment.

According to the ANOVA results, p-values higher than 5% accept H0 and reject it otherwise. If H0 has been rejected, it means the factor levels are statically significant for the response-variable analyzed. Finally, to validate the ANOVA model, residual analyses were performed to check normality, homogeneity and independence [11]. A check of the normality and homogeneity assumptions can be made by the tests of Anderson-Darling and Bartlett, both to 5% of . P-values higher than 5% validate normality and homogeneity assumptions. Regarding the independence test, a plot of residuals in the order in which data was collected can be used to detect any correlation between the residuals [11, 16].

3. Results and discussion

3.1. Overall inventory data

Table 2 shows the average data of energy consumption as well as the processing time for each treatment. The processing time was used to calculate the environmental impacts per both one second of grinding machining and one workpiece.

In Table 2, the higher the Qw, the lower the consumption of electrical energy for both VT2 and VSS wheels. On the other hand, regarding the specific consumption of electrical energy [KJ/s], the higher the Qw, the higher the specific energy consumption. Therefore, the effect of environmental impacts of grinding should be verified when the reference flow is 1 s of machining versus one machined workpiece.

3.2. Results for 1 s of grinding machining

Table 3 shows the mean results of ADP, AP, FAEP, HTP and GWP for 1 s of grinding. Such results were used in the ANOVA model and the p-values are given in Table 4.

According to Table 3, for both VT2 (treatments 1, 2, 3 and 4) and VSS (treatments 5, 6, 7 and 8) grinding wheels, the higher the Qw, the higher the impacts, which is in line with the inventory results discussed in Table 2 for the specific consumption of electrical energy.

Based on Table 3, the environmental hotspots were

associated with the electricity supply chain due to consumption of electrical energy in the grinding process. Furthermore, to validate the ANOVA model, all the p-values of the tests of normality and homogeneity of residuals variance were higher than 5%, as shown in Table 4.

511 Diogo A. L. Silva et al. / Procedia CIRP 29 ( 2015 ) 508 513

In Fig. 2, plots regarding the ANOVA validation process for normality, homogeneity and independence can be seen for the GWP category and the VT2 grinding wheel. Equivalent plots were also obtained for all the other impact categories and the VSS grinding wheel.

example for the GWP impact category and VT2 grinding wheel. Fig. 2 (a) shows a normal probability plot for the variance

residuals of the GWP category calculated by the Anderson-Darling (AD) test. Fig. 2 (b) shows that the homogeneity assumption was satisfied as the p-value was higher than 5% for the Bartletts test. Finally, Fig. 2 (c) shows a plot of residuals versus observation order for the GWP category and VT2 wheel, and no obvious grouping or bunching of residuals was found, validating the independence assumption.

After the ANOVA model had been validated, tests of hypothesis were performed and the results in Table 4 show p-values higher than 5% for both the VT2 and VSS wheels. In summary, the Q`w factor was not statistically effective in changing the environmental impacts in the grinding tests with the use of both the grinding wheels. In this sense, a Tukey test was not performed because the factor levels of Q`w were not significantly different for 95% of confidence level.

A full factorial design was made for the analysis of the effect of the type of grinding wheels on the overall results of the environmental impacts. The VT2 and VSS wheels were compared for the same Qw values. The ANOVA and Tukey test results are provided in Tables 5 and 6, respectively.

According to Table 5, the type of wheel is an important

factor because the ANOVA results were lower than 5%. The Qw factor and its interactions with the type of wheel were not statistically relevant, as all p-values were higher than 5%.

The Tukey test showed the highest environmental impacts

occurred for the VT2 wheel, which explains why this group was denoted as group A. The grinding process using the VSS wheel showed lowest environmental impacts (group B), while the Qw factor showed equivalent impacts for all levels (group A). Therefore, for 1 s of grinding, the optimal process parameters were the use of VSS wheel with any Qw value from 50 to 200 mm/mm.min, because they were the factors that achieved the lowest levels of environmental impacts in the grinding experiments.

The same analysis and comparisons reported in section 3.2 are shown in section 3.3. However, here the results were all normalized for the 20,000 mm of removed volume of material as a reference flow. Table 7 shows the mean results of ADP, AP, FAEP, HTP and GWP for each treatment under

Table 7 shows the higher the Qw, the lower the

environmental impacts for both VT2 (treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4) and VSS wheels. It was a controversial observation in comparison to the results in section 3.2, Table 3, where the highest impacts occurred for the highest value of Qw. Therefore, when the reference flow time of processing versus volume of material removed is changed, all the environmental impacts can significantly change.

From results in Table 8, the ANOVA model was validated

and the effect of Qw factor on the environmental impact results was statistically significant for both VT2 and VSS wheels, because all the p-values were lower than 5%. These results have contradicted those in section 3.2, Table 4, where the Qw factor was not relevant.

According to the Tukey test in Table 9, for the VT2 wheel, the lowest impacts occurred for the highest Qw value (200 mm/mm.min), and the impacts for Qw from 50 to 150 mm/mm.min were higher and statistically equivalent (group A). For the VSS wheel, the lowest impacts were also observed for grinding with Qw = 200 mm/mm.min.

The type of wheel was relevant for all impact categories,

because its p-values were lower than 5%, which has confirmed the findings reported in section 3.2, i.e., type of grinding wheel can directly effects the environmental impacts, and the Tukey results (Table 11) showed the VSS wheel caused the lowest environmental impacts (group B). Furthermore, the lowest impacts occurred for the highest Qw value. The Qw values were relevant for the environmental impacts studied, while in section 3.2, the same Qw values were statically not representative.

The interaction of Qw and the type of wheel was representative for all impact categories according to the results in Table 10. Therefore, Fig. 3 shows an interaction plot of GWP results versus Qw and type of grinding wheel. It is important to highlight that similar curves were also obtained for all the other impact categories in this study.

Fig. 3. Interaction plot for GWP versus Qw and type of grinding wheel. According to Fig. 3, there is an intersection point of results

when grinding with Qw = 100 mm/mm.min. At this intersection point, the GWP impacts of both VT2 and VSS wheels were equivalent, and for higher values of Qw, lower GWP impacts were specially found for the VSS wheel. Thus, based on the statistical results, the optimal process parameters for the reference flow of one machined workpiece, were the use of the VSS grinding wheel with Qw = 200 mm/mm.min.

4. Conclusions

The process of choosing an LCAs reference flow is very important for the development of SM and GM strategies. The results showed for 1 s of grinding machining as a reference flow, the optimal process parameters were the use of VSS wheel with any Qw value from 50 to 200 mm/mm.min. On the other hand, when the reference flow was one machined workpiece, the optimal set of parameters was the use of the VSS wheel with Qw value of 200 mm/mm.min. Moreover, the interaction of Qw and type of wheel was also an important factor when assuming one machined workpiece as reference flow. The authors agree that the reference flow of one workpiece was the best choice because it enabled a more in-depth evaluation of the statistical effects of changing grinding parameters on the overall environmental impacts. For example, to calculate the environmental impacts for 1 s of grinding, the coefficients of variation of results were almost constant and lower than 5%, which indicate that changes in the grinding parameters exerted a low influence on results. However, when the grinding process was studied for one machined workpiece, higher coefficients of variation of the results were obtained. Thus, to support SM and GM strategies and a better controlling and monitoring of the grinding process studied, it is recommended to use number of machined workpieces as an LCA reference flow instead of time of processing. More studies should be conducted for the evaluation of other grinding parameters (e.g. cutting fluid flow, cutting velocity), while also including this DOE and LCA approach to study other manufacturing processes.
