[Midterm Q11 A, B, C, D, E] A nickel-titаnium аllоy is used tо mаke cоmponents for jet turbine aircraft engines. Cracking is a potentially serious problem in the final part, as it can lead to losing an engine in flight. A test is run at the parts producer to determine the effects of three factors on cracks. The three factors are pouring temperature (A), titanium content (B), heat treatment method (C). Three replicates of a 23 design are run, and the length of crack (in μm) induced in a sample coupon subjected to a standard test is measured. The data are in the attached file Midterm11a.dxpx a.Estimate the factor effects. Which effects are large? b.Use the analysis of variance to confirm your conclusions for part (a). c.Write down a regression model for predicting length of cracks based on the results of this experiment. You may cut & paste from DX. d.Analyze the residuals. Are there any obvious problems? e.Based on the analysis of main effects and interaction plots, what levels of A, B, and C would you recommend using, assuming small cracks are best?
