Investigation of mechanical properties in friction stir processing parameters of Cu-TiB2 composite using Taguchi approach
Using solid-state friction stir processing (FSP), an effort has been made in the current research work to produce copper metal matrix composite (Cu-MMC) reinforced with TiB2 particles. It is exposed that the TiB2 particles are evenly distributed throughout the Cu-MMC. Cu-MMC's tensile characteristics, impact strength, and microstructure are evaluated in relation to process parameters such percentage of volume (2%, 4%, and 6%), rotational speed of tool (900, 1200, and 1400 rpm), and traverse speed of tool (15, 20, and 25 mm/min). Experiments are planned and conducted using the Taguchi (L9) orthogonal array (OA) layout on Cu-MMC. Taguchi optimization technique was employed for maximizing the mechanical properties of Cu-MMC. The optimal conditions (i.e., A3B1C2) of 900 rpm, 6 volume percentage of TiB2, and traverse speed at 20 mm/min were used to obtain the best microhardness value. The tensile properties at the optimal conditions (i.e., A1B2C3) are a lesser amount of than those of the base material because of the presence of TiB2 particles that make the matrix brittle. Enhancing the hardness of Cu alloys for use in sliding electrical contacts is of vital significance. Finally, there is a link between Cu-TiB2's microstructure and the mechanical qualities that have been observed.
