Abstract: The present work focuses on the study of mechanical and tribological properties of Ti-3Al-2.5V titanium alloy. The most influencing process parameters of wear process are investigated in this work. Taguchi technique was used to carry out the experiments. The results indicate that load, sliding distance and sliding velocity were the process parameters which make significant contribution in wear properties. The optimal wear process parameters were found using the regression equation developed by the taguchi method.
Keywords: Titanium alloy, Wear Rate, Taguchi Method
