Parametric Optimization of Squeeze Cast AC2A-Ni Coated SiCp Composite Using Taguchi Technique

This paper mainly focusses on parametric optimization of squeeze cast AC2A Ni coated SiCp composite through Taguchi technique. Composite samples have been cast through squeeze casting for each experimental trial based on L16 orthogonal array. From analysis of variance (ANOVA), it has been found that...
