Evaluation of Tribological Properties of Composite Nanomaterial by Taguchi Method

Abstract

The current scenario of the modern material science and manufacturing technology is to develop new and advance materials with least wear and coefficient of friction for better working in tribological applications. Hence it is important aspect to find out the tribological properties of the material such as wear rate and coefficient of friction. The research work is carried out on pervoskite nanocomposite material and tribological analysis is done by Taguchi design of experiment and influence of each parameter is found out by ANOVA. The aim of the study is to find out which parameter is most influencing in wear rate and for COF. The optimum values of wear parameter also determined with the help of S/N ratio analysis. The objective of the model was selected as “smaller is better” for optimization of wear parameters. The result indicates that Load has maximum influence on wear rate as well as on COF followed by Speed and Sliding Distance.
