Application of Modern and Classical Optimization Techniques in Abrasion of Al-Cu-SiCp and Al-Cu-B4Cp Composites

Abstract

In this study, we introduce the abrasion resistance of Al-Cu-SiC_p and Al-Cu-B₄C_p. Based on Fuzzy Logic Modeling (FLM) and surface fitting techniques, we propose the abrasion model of Al-Cu-SiC_p and Al-Cu-B₄C_p which is decided by the rate of SiC_p and B₄C_p, and the amount of applied pressure to the specimens. The model can lead to the best rate of SiC_p and B₄C_p and the amount of applied pressure to obtain the minimum abrasion.
