Abstract

The niobium and its alloys have been used for automobile, marine, and aerospace due to its superior properties such as a lightweight ratio, strength, corrosion resistance, thermal and electrical conductivity. The present work was used to improve the substance properties such as hardness and wear. Tantalum Carbide (TaC) reinforced niobium metal matrix composite (MMC) was produced through the stir casting route. The specific wear rate was determined through a pin on disc tribometer with respect to the input actors such as sliding velocity, load, and temperature. Taguchi optimization was applied to found the optimal parameters. The variance analysis was used to found the influential factor in the wear rate.
