STUDIES ON WEAR LOSS OF STIR CAST ALUMINIUM ALLOY 8011
Keywords:
Stir casting, AA 8011, Response Surface Methodology, Design of ExperimentsAbstract
The dry sliding wear loss behavior of AA8011 matrix composite manufactured by stir casting process was considered. A regression model was established to predict the wear loss of the prepared composite. The wear test was steered with pin-on-disc apparatus with the controlling three-factor, three-level central composite rotatable design matrix was used to minimize the parameters were, applied load of 5, 10, 15 N and sliding velocity of 0.5,1.0,1.5 m/s with interval of 5,10 ,15 min at running time. A statistical investigation of wear test was shown using Response Surface Methodology under the Design of Experiments with Regression Equation using MINITAB 17 software.
