Definitive Screening Design for Statistical Modelling of Tribological Properties in WC-Based Thermal Spray Coatings
摘要
The current investigation focused on a robust framework for optimizing and predicting the tribological performance of WC-based thermal spray coatings, enabling enhanced wear resistance and efficiency in industrial applications. This study provides examination of effect on the tribological behaviour of AISI 1020 steel coated by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) deposition. The temperature, load, sliding time, sliding distance, and sliding velocity in relation to wear depth and friction coefficient are the input characteristics. Using the Definitive Screening Design, experimentation was conducted over the course of 13 experiments. According to a regression model fitted using the Definitive Screening Design, the sliding wear has statistical significance for three major factors and one interaction. The optimization graph showed that the best responses for the input factors HVOF deposition technique, 250
