Abstract
In the current study, Taguchi experimental
design approach was applied to identify the most effect control
factors of process in FSP such as number of passes, rotation
speed and linear travel speed, that controlling the
optimization process. The experimental tests showed a
significant influence of processing parameters on the results of
the hardness properties. The prediction model analysis showed
that the Maximum hardness value obtained at 1120 rpm, 14
mm/min for the third pass. Hardness of AA2024 / Al2O3
surface composite has been improved by 46% with respect to
base metal. The numerical model was verified by minimum
prediction error
