Optimization of the RFW Process Parameters by Using the Taguchi Method for the Ti6Al4V grade-5 alloy

The primary goal of this study is to implement the Rotary Friction Welding (RFW) process join similar Ti6Al4V welds. experimental procedure involves deliberate manipulation input parameters, including rotational speed, friction pressure, and time, through utilization Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array methodology. This approach facilitated using MINITAB software generate a visual representation response chart. focus investigation centers on assessment Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) welded joint, serving as selected output parameter. central objective identify optimal RFW conditions that lead highest achievable UTS. Furthermore, by conducting thorough statistical analysis variance (ANOVA), most influential parameter identified analyzed. concluding phase development comprehensive regression equation governing UTS for titanium alloy. accuracy reliability are then validated rigorous tests corresponding observed values.
