Experimental Investigations on Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Processed AISI 4140 Steel

Ashish Patial | Dr. S. S. Dhami

Abstract: In the present experimentation, optimization of friction stir processing parameters in terms of tool rotational speed, tool feed and axial load for maximizing the tensile strength and hardness in processing zone is carried out using Taguchi design. Orthogonal array of L16 was used to design a set of experiments concerning rotational speed, tool feed, and axial load. Processing variables were analysed by means of signal-to-noise ratio analysis to find the optimum parameters. ANOVA analysis was used to determine the contribution of each parameter.

Keywords: Taguchi method, Friction Stir Processing, Tool rotational speed, ANOVA analysis, Tensile strength, Axial Load
