Parameter Optimization of AA6061-AA7075 Dissimilar Friction Stir Welding using the Taguchi Method

In this study, the Taguchi method was utilized to determine the optimum process parameters for dissimilar friction stir welding between AA6061 and AA7075 aluminium alloys. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array and optimization approach was applied on three levels of three critical factors, namely rotation...
