Projeto mecânico de alicate de bancada para a brasagem de serras de fita bimetálicas e proposta de planejamento de ensaios experimentais pelo método de Taguchi

Abstract

Bimetallic band saws are one of the most used tools for cutting processes due to their versatility, durability and low cost when compared to other tools. For its use, it is necessary that its ends are joined, usually by a welding process, which requires a proper machinery for the process and often results in an inadequate joint strength. Brazing is the object of study in this work, being a simpler and cheaper process, which can serve as an alternative to welding processes in the union of the ends of band saws. To perform this operation, a base mechanism for the process is proposed, in addition to the experiments matrix for optimization of the input parameters by the Taguchi Method.
