Parametric Optimization on Wear Behaviour of Rice Husk-MoS2 Reinforced Al MMC by Taguchi Approach
Abstract
In this research, compo casting method was utilized to developed Aluminium metal matrix composite. Varying percentage of rice husk (5, 10, 15 wt. %) and constant wt. % of molybdenum disulphide(MoS2). Wear behaviour of developed composite was studies with various wear parameter viz. applied load (10, 20, 30N) and sliding velocity (2, 4, 6 m/s). Taguchi approach was adopted to understand the influence of wear parameter over wear rate.Resultrevel that wear rate decrease with increasing rice husk percentage and wear rate increase with increase applied load. Among the wear parameter,sliding velocity showcase lower influence over wear rate.
