Abstract

In this research, Taguchi method is used (S/N) ratio for measuring the variations in experimental design. Taguchi designs used in converting the multi-performance problem into a single-performance problem for experiments which will are in building (Taguchi (L27) orthogonal array) for carburization operation. The main variables that had a great effect on carburizing operation are Carburization temperature (o C), carburization time (hrs.) and tempering temperature (oC). It was focused also on calculating the amount of carbon penetration, the value of hardness, wear rate, corrosion rates and optimal values obtained during the optimization by (Taguchi) approach method for multiple parameters. In this study, the carburization process was done in temperature between (850 to 950 ᵒC) for (2 to 6 hrs.). Quenching process was done for the specimens after heat treatments in furnace chamber by different quench solution (water, salt and polyvinyl alcohol). Taguchi design used to achieve maximum hardness and depth penetration, Minimum wear and corrosion rates.
