SELECTING OPTIMAL PROCESS PARAMETERS OF Al2O3/C COMPOSITE USING GRA WITH PCA AND TAGUCHI’S QLF APPROACH
Abstract
The aim of this study is to find the controlled factors affecting the mass density of the combined Al2O3/Cu. All experiments were carried out using powder metallurgy. Experiments were carried out with four controllable powder processing parameters, namely milling time, compaction pressure, sintering temperature, and holding time. The L18 mixed-level Taguchi Orthogonal Array was used for experimental because it is the basis for the analysis of the Taguchi method. In this research, statistical analysis is carried out using GRA with PCA and Quality Loss Function. The result was the best model based on the Quality Loss Function, because the method has the biggest determination coefficient value is 99,97% where the results is better than GRA with PCA. From the main effect table study, the optimal combination of parameters for response: mass density and hardness are A2B3C3D2 powder metallurgical process parameters, namely milling time of 360 minutes, compacting powder of 200 MPa, sintering of 7000C, and holding time of 20 minutes. The ANOVA results show that the compaction pressure has the most influential parameter that affects the response. The percentage contribution of compaction pressure is 87.09%. Based on ANOVA, the R-squared value is 99.97%, which means the tested factor variables can explain the density of the Al2O3/Cu composite by 99.70%. Therefore, only 18 experimental trials are needed to discover the reality of what will happen in the process.
