“…The first step in this process is the normalization of the measured value i index in the j sample indicated by P ij . The value of the P ij is calculated by Equation ( 5) [42,53].…”
“…Many researchers have analyzed and concluded the incorporation of hard ceramic materials into soft materials improves tribological properties. SiC-reinforced Al7050 MMC [47], grapheneincorporated Al7075 MMC [48,49], Al 2 O 3 -reinforced Al7075 MMC [50], SiC-reinforced Al7075 [51,52], 7.5% SiC-reinforced Al6061 MMC [53], and TiC-reinforced Al6070 MMC [54] were subjected to wear analysis using the Taguchi method and the results concluded that particles addition improved the wear resistance of the composite materials compared to the base metal, and also the sliding distance mostly influenced the wear property.…”
The present work centers on aluminum-based metal matrix composites (AMCs), synthesized via stir casting and then processed by electrical discharge machining (EDM) in the case of Al7075 as a matrix and 6 wt.% boron carbide (B4C) as reinforcement. A design of experiment (DoE) approach, powered by hybrid optimization techniques (such as the entropy weight method (EWM), grey relational analysis (GRA) incorporated Taguchi method) was used to investigate the relationship between current (I), pulse ON time (Ton), pulse OFF time (Toff), and electrode gap (Gap) as input parameters and the material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), and surface roughness (SR) as response parameters. The results showed that an I = 140 A, Ton = 120 ms, Toff = 50 ms, and Gap = 0.4 mm combination gives the best response parameters of MRR = 0.5628 mm3/min, TWR = 0.0048 mm3/min, and SR = 4.4034 μs.

“…Researchers get a comprehensive understanding of wear behaviour by measuring the effect of many elements and their interactions on wear performance [12,13]. The integration of Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratio approach simplifies quantifying the contributions of each parameter to the overall wear characteristics of composite materials [14,15].…”
The current study investigates the wear behavior of three distinct composite compositions designated as C1,
C2, and C3, with direct implications for aerospace applications. Critical factors such as the Coefficient of Friction (Cf),
Specific Rate of Wear (Sw), and Frictional Force (FF) were meticulously analyzed using a systematic experimental
approach and the Taguchi L27 array design. Significant relationships between input factors and responses emerged after
subjecting these responses to Taguchi signal-to-noise ratio analysis. The optimal parameter combination of a 5%
composition, 14.5 N Applied Load (Ap), 150 rpm Rotational Speed (Rs), and 40.5 m Distance of Sliding (Ds) highlights
the interplay of factors in improving wear resistance. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used as a predictive tool to
boost research efficiency, achieving an impressive 99.663% accuracy in response predictions. The result shows comparison
of the ANN's efficacy with actual experimental results. These findings hold great promise for aerospace applications where
wear-resistant materials are critical for long-term performance under harsh operating conditions. The incorporation of ANN
predictions allows for rapid material optimization while adhering to the stringent requirements of aerospace environments.
This research contributes to the evolution of tailored composite materials, poised to improve aerospace applications with
increased reliability, efficiency, and durability by advancing wear analysis methodologies and predictive technologies.
