Investigating and Optimizing the Effect of Primary Parameters on the Amount of Wear in AISI ۶۳۱ Sheet

Metal friction is a critical phenomenon that affects the performance and longevity of metal components. Understanding the factors that contribute to metal friction and finding effective ways to optimize its results are essential in various industries. To investigate metal friction and optimize results, an experimental design approach is employed. This approach involves systematically varying input parameters to assess their impact on frictional forces. By carefully controlling and manipulating these parameters, researchers can gain insights into the underlying mechanisms and identify strategies to minimize friction. In the test design method, by using the response surface method, a series of tests consisting of primary parameters are designed, and their results are checked and optimized on the amount of friction. This study focuses on investigating the effects of weight, length of the path, and the speed of the pin on wear using a wear-testing device. The results of the optimization process indicate that the optimal condition occurs when the weight is at its minimum value of ۳۱۸.۲ kg, the speed is at its minimum value of ۰.۹۵۴۶ m/s and the path length is ۲۳۵۶.۷ m. The results indicate an increase in wear with an increase in weight and length of the path. Additionally, Finite element simulation was done to check the results. The results of experimental operation and finite element simulation showed a good agreement.
