A XML Definition of Manufacturing Case Data and its Function as a Manufacturing Supporting Method

Abstract

We have defined an XML schema of polishing case data, which are composed of material specifications, processing conditions, polishing material, machine specifications and evaluation results. More than one hundred parameters are dominant. Polishing processes are repeated during the variation of the associated parameters until the specified surface property is obtained. The structure of the case data becomes more complicated than that of arc welding, as polishing phenomena are not made clear physically and chemically. Thus, we proposed an effective method and examined it through case inquiries and evaluated it to be applicable as a manufacturing supporting method.
