Taguchi and Regression Analysis of Abrasive Wear Behavior of Carbon Epoxy Composite
Journal Title: Journal of Materials and Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the abrasive wear performance of a composite material made of carbon epoxy and graphite particles. The experiments were conducted on Abrasion Test rig and examined the weight loss of the composite material, taking into account the sliding distance and normal load. Taguchi method is employed to study the effect of process parameters on composite wear. Multiple regressions were utilized to establish a correlation between wear and wear parameters. The findings indicated that weight loss increased with higher applied loads, sliding distances, and weight fractions of graphite filler. Finally, the experimental results were validated through confirmation tests.
