Abstract
Mg-based composites (MgMC) have been fabricated using vacuum-based with squeeze
pressure stir casting (VSP-SC) process having boron carbide and aluminum as
reinforcement. In this research work, Taguchi method has been applied to evaluate the
considerable improvements of fabrication parameters on the hardness properties of
MgMC. Therefore, the VSP-SC process has been executed by applying the combinations
of processing parameters based on having a three-level L9 array. To evaluate the leading
levels and their influence of process parameters on hardness properties, analysis of
variance and signal-to-noise ratio have been determined. The result reveals that few
parameters have a considerable effect on hardness as compared to other given factors.
The reinforcement composition of composites shows the most influential on the
hardness.
