An Optimization of Process Parameters for Stir Casted Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites to Improve Material Removal Rate

The aim of this effort is to examine the development of stir casting on the aluminum metal matrix composite (MMC). The Taguchi L9 experimental technique is chosen to erect the quantities of machining tests. Abrasive Water Jet Machining is utilized to perform the machining on the stir casted aluminium MMCs. ANOVA analyzes the variety of process parameters and their property of the MMC for increasing Material Removal Rate (MRR). The result shows that the medium water pressure (2750 bar), average traverse speed (30 mm/min) and high abrasive flow rate (80 g/mm) are the influential process parameters to machining the aluminium metal matrix composites. The optimal values for SR are water pressure of 2300 bar, traverse speed of 25 mm/min and abrasive flow rate of 80 g/mm.
