Optimization of Process Parameters of Al-10% Cu Compacts through Powder Metallurgy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Powder Metallurgy (P/M) is a manufacturing process in which powders are compacted in a die to attain the final product. P/M has certain unique advantage like controlled porosity, High Strength to weight ratio. Aluminium (Al) is a light weight material, but pure Al does not possess a good strength. To achieve the strength, Copper (Cu) powders are blended at required proportions. Al along with Cu shows good mechanical properties. An attempt is made to optimize the process parameter of Al – 10% Cu powder to attain maximum process efficiency. Here optimization is done by Taghuchi’s method.
