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
