Quality assurance of the frequency converter for deep space application : material selection and tolerance standards

Abstract

This thesis develops a QA framework for precision manufacturing, focusing on material selection and tolerance standards for the frequency converter under deep space applications. By using CAD models, CAM simulations, and 3D printing, the research evaluates titanium and aluminium 6061-T6 for hermeticity and dimensional stability. The framework integrates expert feedback and triangulation to ensure machining accuracy and reliability. The findings support improved manufacturability and have potential applications in aerospace, medical devices, and precision engineering.
