Optimization of hardness behaviour of TIG modified ceramic coating using the taguchi approach

The increasing need for energy efficient tribo-composite surfaces has led to the enhancement of surface properties of engineering components through parameter processing control. This study was carried out to investigate the hardness behaviour of low alloy steel (LAS) surface modified with TiC un...
