Optimization of SiC Abrasive Parameters on Machining of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy in AJM Using Taguchi-Grey Relational Method
Source abstract
Abstract
In this research, multi response Taguchi-grey relational approach was employed to optimize the machining parameters of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in abrasive water jet process. The main aim of this present investigation was to explicate the role of adding SiC super hard ceramic into the garnet and to find out the optimal input variable, which is influencing the material removal rate and surface finish in the process. The specific input variables such as SiC volume, SiC size and abrasive flow rate were accounted as potential process variables for this present investigation. It is observed that the SiC along with garnet improves the material removal rate. According to the analysis the SiC addition of 0.5 wt.%, SiC size of 80mesh and abrasive flow rate of 2 g/s (A2B1C1) was found to be producing MRR of 48.81 mm3/s and lower surface roughness of 3.72 μm. From study the particle size was the most influential parameter for producing high MRR with low surface roughness. The confirmation study reveals the improvement of 1.91% in MRR and surface roughness on comparing with predicted mean value.
