MTA PRODUCES AUTOMOTIVE FUSES SINCE
1954RGL 5
RGL 6
FUNCIONALITY OF AN AUTOMOTIVE FUSE
1. Is the weakest link in the chain, to be able to protect the entire electrical system and specifically the wire
2. There are two kind of anomalies1. Short circuit2. Overload
3. Must also reliably supply the electrical current, flowing through himself, therefore causing heating and as a consequence, materials degradation.
RGL 7
FUNCIONALITY OF AN AUTOMOTIVE FUSE
Conditions of functionality:
1. If there is an anomaly, the fuse must act before the wire can be damaged, but….
2. The fuse never must blown if there is no anomaly and…..
3. Should heat as less as possible, under normal operating conditions
Statistical guarantee for functional characteristics is :• Demonstrate CpK>1,67,
OR• Test 100%.
But fuses test is destructive!!!

The physics of the fuse is the interaction among the thermal effects: Joule Heating, Heat dissipation, phase changes and resitivity variation with temperature.

WHY THIS WORK?
Customers wants the probability to
find a defective part well below 5ppm, and that Defect
Free does not rely just on End-of-Line
test
The Direction of the Company requires
that product quality is
guaranteed and does not incurs in
high costs of control and scrap
at End-of-Line test.
Therefore require a Capability Index
greater than 1,67!!

OR
RGL 15
Select appropriate combination of parameters and find the functional results for those combinations. The results will serve to define mathematical functions through regression methods. Results can be obtained:
Experimentally By Numerical Methods
DOE obtains the effect of each single parameter, but also the effect of the combination of two or more of this parameters («interactions»)
Design Of Experiments (DOE):

X-Y Interaction means that effect of X is modified by the presence of YDOE

X-Y Interactions example
RGL 17
Define the variables that influences the system and their range of variation according to the goal of the DOE:◦ Identification of the influent parameters and interactions◦ Design optimization by selection of parameter’s values◦ Efect of the natural variation of the parameters
This requires a good technical knowledge about the system itself and must be carried out by system experts helped by DOE practitioners.
It is important to reduce the number of parameters to reduce time and cost. Also interesting from a practical view to choose those parameters that can be easily varied in an experimental method.

For example in our case the effect of the variation of Width and Thickness can be considered two similar ways to vary the of cross-section, therefore we choose to vary only the width, than can be more easily done using CAM samples made with numerically controlled instruments.

We can also exclude interactions between the geometrical characteristics and the quantity of low melting temperature material add to the fuse (tin in this case).
To have a lower experimental uncertainty in the practical samples preparation method, we decided to investigate this effect with a regression to be add to the DOE.
The effect is within the experimental error, then it is reppresented as a Uniform Noise.

Inserting the experimental results in the Minitab ® Software, we obtain easily which parameters and interactions have statistical significance in the results, and therefore must be used in the regression model.
Transfer Function Determination

Pareto Chart of Standardized Effects: For Blow Time, Width and Resistivity are significative with more than 95% Confidence. Length is also significative but less evident because experimental error mask somewhere it’s smaller effect
These are the parameters and interactions that influence measurable Resistance changes for the expected variation in production.
RGL 22
Residuals are the measured variation NOT explained by the significant parameters
The conclusions given by the DOE model are acceptable if the residuals are normally distributed, and have equal variance across all the regression range, and are independent from the experimental order◦ Normally Distributed◦ Do not show a trend versus the fitted value◦ Do not show a trend versus the order of measure

Identify the practical distribution for all the construction parameters

Identify what are the distribution type closest to the historical values for each construction parameter
Minitab© and other software have applications to find the most suitable distributions

DESIGN ROBUSTNESS
A simple Robustness analysis allow us to predict the number of defective parts, if the input parameters respect the distribution used in the simulation
27
By repeating the process hundreds thousands of times we obtain the distribution of the operating characteristics.
RGL 28
CONCLUSIONS
We want to demonstrate that if some geometrical and material parameters are under control, the whole production of an automotive fuse will respect the functional specifications

RGL 29
CONCLUSIONS1° Use DOE to obtain the mathematical relationship between construction parameters and operating results.2° Determine parameters distribution according to historical values3° Extract random values from the distributions and calculate the operating value that would be obtained for such fuse. Repeat the process till a suitable distribution is obtained (Monte Carlo simulation).4° Analyce this distribution Robustness against the operating limits and predict the number of defects
