Abstract

The objectives of this work are to develop an aluminum alloy composites and investigate machining process parameters effect on the tool wear rate for composites. The composite is enhanced using silicon carbide and graphite. The composite is made by a method called stir casting. Furthermore, it is investigated both mathematically and experimentally. This study takes trial on aluminum alloy composite to see output characteristics tool wear rate are affected by parameters including current, voltage, and pulse duration. Taguchi techniques are used in the studies, and analyses of variance are used to validate the results. In order minimize tool wear rate, this study provided the optimized machining conditions. The tests are verified using a confirmation test, and analysis is used to validate the results. A wide variety of techniques for creating MMCs have been developed in the last ten years. The kind of fabrication technique used has a major impact on the composite's mechanical characteristics and manufacturing cost. Trials on aluminum alloy composite are carried out in this study to see output characteristics tool wear rate are affected by variables including current, voltage, and pulse duration. The Taguchi techniques are used to conduct the experiments and the Analysis are used to corroborate the analysis. The ideal machining conditions that can be applied to minimize tool wear rate were reported in this study. The results are checked using analysis, and the tests are verified by a confirmation test. The outcomes indicate that the modeling-derived values can be utilized.
