Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis of Dry Sliding Wear Behaviour of Annealed AA7075-TiC Metal Matrix Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The optimization of dry sliding wear process parameters of in-situ aluminium based metal matrix composites to obtain multiple objectives to minimize wear rate, specific wear rate, co-efficient of friction and maximize wear resistance was attempted by Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis. Moreover to identify the significance of the parameters, a statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance. Based on the analysis, the sliding speed was identified as the major contributor with 71.41% followed by percentage of reinforcement with 8.13% and other parameters load and sliding distance are found to be insignificant. The optimum parameters identified by the Grey Relational Analysis are verified through experimental confirmation test.
