Parametric investigation and optimization of AWJM process on stir cast al7075/basalt composite materials using Taguchi based grey relational analysis

Optimization, one of the best techniques is used in various sectors of manufacturing to create the best manufacturing environment. It is one of the essential techniques adopted by industries for manufacturing their products with high quality at a lower cost. The aim of this research article is to explore and identify - the optimal set of Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) process and its parameters which includes nozzle abrasive jet pressure, Stand Off Distance and Traverse Speed. Disparities Such as Roughness of surface, and Cutting Width of Stir Cast AA7075/Basalt Composites strengthened with various levels of Basalt using abrasive flushing. Abrasive Jet Machine studied with L25 orthogonal assortment and the examination is carried out with Annova and Taguchi tools. Analysis of variance found the ideal levels of restrictions in Abrasive Jet Machine progression. The results obtained shows that Taguchi and ANNOVA is an operative technique for optimization of the machining restrictions for AWJM process. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
