Popis: Despite the industrial popularity of nylon 6 composites, their wear performance portrays a substantial knowledge gap on parametric importance. Consequently, this study optimizes and prioritizes the wear performance parameters of nylon 6/boron nitride composites using the Taguchi-Pareto and Taguchi-ABC methods based on 80-20 Pareto rule and the ABC analysis, using signal-to-noise ratios. From the literature information, the principal parameters considered are the %wt of reinforcement, normal load, sliding speed, and sliding distance, respectively. The results showed that the optimal parametric setting using the Taguchi-Pareto method is 4wt % of boron nitride Nanocomposite, 15 N of normal load, 100 rpm of sliding speed and 500m of sliding distance. The limitation of this study is the difficulty in deducing the most significant delta values or ranks through the parameters. This work drive towards more practically focused wear performance studies by industrial practitioners, showing critical optimization and prioritization procedures in a single study.
