Abstract
In the present study, Al-Mg alloy coatings were fabricated on the SS400 steel substrate by the electric arc spray technique at various spaying parameters (spray current, air pressure and spray distance). These spraying parameters were optimized for the objectives of porosity and adhesion strength of the coating by using Taguchi method. The planning of experiments was based on Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array with three factors and three levels. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the contribution percentage of input parameters for output parameters. It was found that the air pressure was the most significant parameter that influenced the porosity and the adhesion strength of the coating. Moreover, the study has built two regression mathematical models that correspond to two output parameters. Multi-target optimization calculation with the lowest porosity and highest adhesion has been proposed. In addition, the microstructure, phase composition and microhardness of the coatings were also investigated.
