Abstract
In this study, multi-objective optimization for Friction stir welding of dissimilar AA2014-AA7075 has been presented to provide optimum tensile strength, hardness, and % of elongation. The input parameters considered for the analysis are tool rotational speed, feed, and tilt angle. Experiments are designed based on Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Investigative analysis on the effect of input parameters on the responses is carried out using the MINITAB14 software package. The parametric influence on responses is discussed through the main effects plot. Further, multi-objective optimization is performed with the Technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Results demonstrated that tool rotational speed is the most significant factor affecting the response followed by feed and tilt angle. The optimum cutting parameters obtained are tool rotational speed 710 rpm, Feed 30 mm/rev, and Tilt angle 2o.
