Abstract

Abstract In the current investigation, aluminium matrix composite (AMC) was successfully fabricated by liquid melt method and the effect of stir casting (SC) parameters namely Temperature (Temperature), Stir Speed S (SS) and Stir Time (ST) on the properties was studied using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array experimental design. The melting temperature of SS and ST were selected as input parameters and the properties such as 'ρ', hardness and compressive strength (CS) were treated as responses. From signal to noise (SN) Ratio analysis, it is witnessed that the higher Temperature (850°C), S (600 rpm) and ST (15 min) is needed to attain the better Density (ρ), compressive strength (CS) and hardness of the composite. From the ANOVA analysis, SS and ST were determined as highly contributing parameters to disturb the properties of the composites. Additionally a confirmation test was carried out with the optimum parameter for validation of the Taguchi results
