Abrasive wear has a significant impact on both the efficiency of the tilling tool and the quality of the finished product. The primary objective of this study was to determine the optimal values for the influencing parameters of wear in conventional rotavator blades while operating in real-world situations. Mild steel rotavator blade c Type) It is used for the investigation. Experimentation has been conducted to evaluate the effect of load and distance (tillage area) on the wear of the base material. Field tests have been used to examine and calculate the wear on the blades. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used for the design of experiments. Wear performance in terms of weight loss of blades was examined after a fixed interval of time. A significant wear rate was observed through the field test run. Distance shows a predominant effect on the wear of blades as compared to uniform load. It was concluded that the greater the tillage area, the higher the weight loss. As a result, key factor that have a significant impact on the wear of the blade was identified as tillage distance (70.46) as compared to load (44.81). Standard deviation was found as 1.031. The sensitivity analysis confirms the findings from optimization, which further deals with substantial improvements in the operational life of rotavator blades.
