In this paper we focused on the design of experiment for the characterization planning for Inconel-625 super alloy. As far as the diversity of environmental factors are concerned, we performed heat treatment and corroding of the sample pieces for five different settings. Ion-irradiation on various fluence was performed for the bare, heat treated and corrodes samples. Combination of different parameters and different settings make multiple permutation and combination for the proper characterization of super alloy. This paper focused on the taguchi technique, which optimizes the numbers of trial for Ion-irradiation. Therefore, we performed the characterization with optimum numbers of irradiated samples. For the characterization of the treated and bare samples Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDAX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and wear tests are performed.
