Among the statistical process control techniques, the control chart has been proven to be effective in process monitoring. The Shewhart S-chart is one of the most commonly used control charts for monitoring the process variability based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic to be monitored is normal. However, in real applications, many process distributions may follow a positively skewed distribution such as the lognormal distribution. In this study, a control chart for monitoring the standard deviation of a lognormal distribution is presented. The simulation results show that the proposed chart is more effective than the existing charts when the true value of the scale parameter of the lognormal distribution is large. A real example is used to demonstrate how the proposed chart can be applied in practice.

Among a set of tools that form the core of statistical process control, statistical control charts are most commonly used for controlling, monitoring, and improving processes. The conventional control charts are based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic to be monitored follows the normal distribution. However, in real applications, many process distributions may follow a positively skewed distribution such as the lognormal distribution. In this study, we discuss the construction of several control charts for monitoring the mean of the lognormal distribution. A real example is used to demonstrate how these charts can be applied in practice. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A previous study by the authors reported that a Mn-Ce based conversion coating protects the surface of LZ91 magnesium alloy from corrosion. However, the acidic permanganate solution decomposes after several days of storage and this significantly affects the properties of the coating. To address this problem, this study presents a method to stabilize the acidic permanganate bath by adding pyrophosphate into the bath. The results show that all conversion coatings are amorphous and comprise two layers: a porous layer that contacts the substrate and a compact overlay. Coatings that are produced using a bath with Ce are more resistant to corrosion than those that are produced in a bath without Ce ions. Coatings that are stored in the Mn-Ce bath for 2 weeks are significantly less resistant to corrosion than coatings that are produced using an as-prepared Mn\\Ce bath. The salt spray test results of coatings that are produced using the as-prepared bath and stored for 2 weeks are found similar because the bath is rendered more stable by the addition of pyrophosphate.
