Multi-Response Optimization of Mechanical Properties and Quantitative Porosity of A356 Aluminum Alloy Subjected to T6 Heat Treatment Using Response Surface Methodology
This study addresses key methodological gaps in prior T6 heat-treatment research on A356 aluminum alloy, namely the ambiguity of treatment-temperature definitions, reliance on perceived (non-quantitative) porosity assessment, incomplete statistical testing across mechanical responses, and the use of single-factor discr...
