Optimization ofWear Parameters of AA7150-TiC Nanocomposites by Taguchi Technique

Wear optimization of titanium carbide reinforced nanocomposite fabricated through the vortex, double stir casting technique was carried out through L25 orthogonal array of Taguchi method. The experimental work was executed on pin on disc tribometer with different input parameters such as weight percentage (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%) of titanium carbide, sliding distance (500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 m), sliding speed (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 m/s), and applied load (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 N) under dry sliding conditions. The analysis of individual parameter influence on responses was investigated through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis was used to correlate the fit of the model with experimental data of wear.
