Question 4
An article in Quality Progress (May 2011, pp. 42-48) describes the use of factorial experiments to improve a
silver powder production process. This product is used in conductive pastes to manufacture a wide variety of
products ranging from silicon wafers to elastic membrane switches. Powder density (g/cm²) and surface area
(cm/g) are the two critical characteristics of this product. The experiments involved three factors: reaction
temperature, ammonium percentage, stirring rate. Each of these factors had two levels, and the design was
replicated twice. The design is shown in Table 3.

Question 3
Continuation of Exercise 2. One of the variables in the experiment described in Exercise 2, heat treatment
method (C), is a categorical variable. Assume that the remaining factors are continuous.
(a) Write two regression models for predicting crack length, one for each level of the heat treatment method
variable. What differences, if any, do you notice in these two equations?
(b) Generate appropriate response surface contour plots for the two regression models in part (a).
(c) What set of conditions would you recommend for the factors A, B, and D if you use heat treatment method
C = +?
(d) Repeat…
Question 2
A nickel-titanium alloy is used to make components for jet turbine aircraft engines. Cracking is a potentially
serious problem in the final part because it can lead to nonrecoverable failure. A test is run at the parts producer
to determine the effect of four factors on cracks. The four factors are: pouring temperature (A), titanium content
(B), heat treatment method (C), amount of grain refiner used (D). Two replicates of a 24 design are run, and
the length of crack (in mm x10-2) induced in a sample coupon subjected to a standard test is measured. The
data are shown in Table 2.
1
(a) Estimate the factor effects. Which factor effects appear to be large?
(b) Conduct an analysis of variance. Do any of the factors affect cracking? Use a = 0.05.
(c) Write down a regression model that can be used to predict crack length as a function of the significant
main effects and interactions you have identified in part (b).
(d) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.
