Abstract
To improve the properties of Al/Si7 composite, 63% SiC (maximum solubility) is added as a secondary reinforcement to form Al/Si7+63%SiC hybrid matrix composite. Al/Si7+63% SiC composite is fabricated through stir casting process. The fabricated composite is machined by using abrasive water jet machine (AWJM) and an optimum machining condition is evaluated through gray-related response surface method (G-RSM) by using L20 orthogonal array. AWJM are governed with independent parameters such as jet pressure (JP), stand-off distance (SOD), and traverse speed (TS). The dependent responses are taken as material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra). The effect of each independent parameter and the output responses is evaluated. The optimum machining condition is predicted through ANOVA. The test experiment is conducted to validate the RSM equation, and it found in the acceptable range.
