Abstract:
This thesis has the objective for analyze and reduce defect from cold rolled process of stainless steel pipe 304L grade by follow up Six Sigma way. There are 5 phase to operation. In the analysis phase will use the principle of design of experiment (Design and Analysis of Experiment: D.O.E.) come to use analyze and reduce defect of example factory. From production system education including study and collect defect for analyze. Meet that defect majority matter in welding process after from cold rolled process. So, it has problem around welding zone according to the joint through in long rows. That makes it reach lower the standard and can not rework or correct. Next defect is about cold rolled process. So, it is a trace swells joint area and not round pipe for standard. These researches then begin from procedure education since preparing raw material by steel plate coils. After that it time to roll steel plate to be round pipe. Use Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG) to joint and polishes with paper sand at last the procedure. This is a semi automatic procedure. After that analyze by brainstorming and used cause and effect diagram for seek the factor that affect to make defect. Use F.M.E.A .techniques to screen factor that not significant. Analyze by design of experiment techniques to analyze the influence of the factor that affects to weld zone defect. In the part of cold rolled process problem that make pipe not round be not good preparing weld joint area enough. Which from the brainstorming and analyze with cause and effect diagram meet that be born from joint preparation. So, it not correct rolling gap .In the welding problem case can find the condition of welding factor is, (1) Welding amp is 80 ampere. (2) Welding speed is 170 second/6 meter. (3) Arc gap is 1 millimeter. Defect from original procedure is 8.2% and after improvement 2 problems (welding and rolling procedure) is 1.6% it can save cost amount of 108.75 million baths.
