Investigation of Tribological Behaviour of AA-6063 Cast Using In-Situ Microwave Process By Taguchi Method & ANFIS Model

Abstract

Tribological behaviour of AA-6063 casted by microwave casting process was investigated. In this present work, sliding wear analysis has done on in-situ cast developed through the novel technique. The in-situ cast of AA-6063 was developed using microwave irradiation. Sliding wear variables like normal load, sliding velocity and sliding distance are optimized through Taguchi technique. L9 orthogonal array and signal-to-noise analysis is used to obtain the optimum process parameter for wear rate (WR) as the selected response. After development, validation tests were performed using variance analysis (ANOVA). The addition of this electron scanning (SEM) microscope, scattering X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) images and the friction characteristics was done to study the wear rate. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference device (ANFIS) model changed into evolved the use of test information and re-evaluated the use of an aging level for wear rate.
