Optimization of Friction Welding in Dissimilar Materials through Taguchi Based Grey Relational Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Friction welding is widely used in determining the mass production process for joining dissimilar materials due to its environment friendliness, production efficiency and low heat input. In this study, Taguchi approach was applied in grey relational analysis to solve the multi-response optimization. The experimental result analysis is to achieve the maximization of tensile strength and minimization of weld time and metal loss. The optimal combinations of welding parameters are predicted through grey relational analysis for the multi-performance and optimal results were verified through confirmation test.
