Abstract

Friction stir welding of AZ 91D magnesium alloy has been undertaken with boron powder application at the interface. Multi responses are measured with different characteristics. The responses are analyzed with variable weightages employing TOPSIS Taguchi method. Optimal parameter condition has been identified and found that weld speed is playing major role in controlling all the responses. The performance is computed for the optimum case and also the ANOM and ANOVA test is conducted to show the performance improvement
