In this research paper, an effort was made to investigate the dry sliding wear rate of friction stir welded AA6262/AA5456 composite performed by the Taguchi approach. Wear experiments are carried out by selecting suitable process parameters such as load (LD), sliding speed (SS), and sliding distance...
