Abstract—Materials are the precious resources. In the industrial applications there are several materials that are being used and there mechanical and system property play a major role in successful implementation of any system. Abrasive wear results in loss of material by dynamic interaction of two surfaces with respect to one another. The present study generally works on the abrasion wear often called as a three body wear system on hot working steel (H-13) and the coating of tungsten carbide and chromium carbide on it ,which is deposited by the detonation gun process, the testing is performed on the dry rubber wheel abrasion testing machine at various varying parameter like the velocity of the rubber wheel, normal load applied on the machine and the coating component itself ,hence for the above a design of experiment matrix is formed, the solution of the matrix is done using the Taguchi method of optimization. This method not only determines the significant interactions and respective factors but also determines the significant interaction factor combination.
