摘要：This research paper demonstrates the application of Taguchi method and Response surface Methodology (RSM) for optimization of alloyed depth in laser alloying of AISI 422 martensitic stainless steel. The experiment was designed and carried out on the basis of standard L9 Taguchi’s orthogonal array in which three laser processing parameters such as laser power, scanning speed and powder feed rate were arranged at three levels. The processing parameters played an important role in the quality of alloyed coating produced and proper control of these processing parameters resulted in quality alloyed depth and hardness property. From the analysis of mean values of variance (ANOVA) and response surface numerical analysis, the significant laser processing parameters were indentified. The results showed that laser power and scanning speed are the most significant parameters affecting the alloyed depth of laser surface alloying (LSA), while the influence of powder feed rate is much minimal.
