Production and wear optimization of an MSSA-reinforced Al–Si–Mg composite: a Taguchi approach

In this study, Al–Si–Mg-MSSA composite is produced by reinforcing the aluminum alloy with mango seed shell ash (MSSA). For development parameters of stirring time, processing temperature, MSSA content, and particle size, Taguchi design experiment was employed for optimization wear properties developed composites. The optimal rate MSSA-reinforced Al–Si–Mg obtained to be 0.001517 mm3/N/m at size 60 s, 720 ℃, 20%, 25 µm. Analysis variance also proved significance particles in reduction alloys. behavior successfully modeled using regression analysis a prediction accuracy 90.32%.
