Haynes 25 is a cobalt based superalloy gaining its importance in aerospace, heat treatment applications, chemical handling equipment, commercial gas turbine engines, bearing material, etc. This alloy is featured with low thermal conductivity, wear and corrosion resistance, strength with good resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. In the present study, optimization of process parameters in turning Haynes 25 alloy with uncoated and coated carbide tools under the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) using Taguchi based grey relational analysis (GRA) method is attempted. The influence of cutting parameters and nano-particle concentration on surface roughness, tool wear, cutting and thrust forces are analyzed to improve the alloy machinability. The work also compares the responses obtained with uncoated and coated tool inserts and analyzes the effect of nano-particle concentration. Further, the experimental cutting and thrust forces are computed and validated using FE based DEFORM 3D software. The results obtained through simulation are in good accordance with experimental data within an average relative error of about 12 %.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate and optimize the cutting parameters on multiple performance characteristics in end milling of Aluminium Silicon alloy reinforced with Aluminium Nitride (AlSi/AlN MMC) using Taguchi method and Grey relational analysis (GRA). The fabrication of AlSi/AlN MMC was made via stir casting with various volume fraction of particles reinforcement (10%, 15% and 20%). End milling machining was done under dry cutting condition by using two types of cutting tool (uncoated & PVD TiAlN coated carbide). Eighteen experiments (L18) orthogonal array with five factors (type of tool, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and volume fraction of particles reinforcement) were implemented. The analysis of optimization using GRA concludes that the better results for the combination of lower surface roughness, longer tool life, lower cutting force and higher material removal could be achieved when using uncoated carbide with cutting speed 240m/min, feed 0.4mm/tooth, depth of cut 0.3mm and 15% volume fraction of AlN particles reinforcement. The study confirmed that with a minimum number of experiments, Taguchi method is capable to design the experiments and optimized the cutting parameters for these performance characteristics using GRA for this newly develop material under investigation.

This research work attempts to study the most prominent factor of the drilling operations performed on different thicknesses of biaxial glass fibre reinforced with graphene platelet nanopowder and epoxy composite using three different drills. Damages are induced in the workpieces to analyse the effect of changed cutting parameters and different tool materials for varied thicknesses of the plates during the drilling process. The resultant drilled hole exhibited surface irregularities that are measured using SURFCOM 1400G. The circularity deviations of the holes are measured using a coordinate measuring machine. Image-processing technique is used to calculate the area of maximum diameter of the damaged zone. Using these data, delamination at entry and exit is calculated. Utilizing response surface methodology and grey relational analysis, the varied operations are carried out and analysed with different tool materials for common cutting parameters. It is found that the lesser thickness workpiece with selected HSS drill under high speed and low feed rate is the best variable option.

Energy conservation and emission reduction is an essential consideration in sustainable manufacturing. However, the traditional optimization of cutting parameters mostly focuses on machining cost, surface quality, and cutting force, ignoring the influence of cutting parameters on energy consumption in cutting process. This paper presents a multi-objective optimization method of cutting parameters based on grey relational analysis and response surface methodology (RSM), which is applied to turn AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel in order to improve cutting quality and production rate while reducing energy consumption. Firstly, Taguchi method was used to design the turning experiments. Secondly, the multi-objective optimization problem was converted into a simple objective optimization problem through grey relational analysis. Finally, the regression model based on RSM for grey relational grade was developed and the optimal combination of turning parameters (ap = 2.2 mm, f = 0.15 mm/rev, and v = 90 m/s) was determined. Compared with the initial turning parameters, surface roughness (Ra) decreases 66.90%, material removal rate (MRR) increases 8.82%, and specific energy consumption (SEC) simultaneously decreases 81.46%. As such, the proposed optimization method realizes the trade-offs between cutting quality, production rate and energy consumption, and may provide useful guides on turning parameters formulation.

This study investigates the optimization of CNC turning operation parameters for Al6061 nickel coated graphite (NCG) metal matrix composite using the Taguchi based grey relational analysis method. The turning operations are carried out with carbide cutting tool inserts. According to the Taguchi quality concept, 3-level orthogonal array was chosen for the experiments. The experiments are conducted at three different cutting speeds (125, 175, 225m/min) with feed rates (0.1, 0.15, 0.2mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.5, 1, 1.5mm) and different % of reinforcement (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%), signal to noise ratio and the analysis of variance are used to optimize cutting parameters. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface roughness and MRR are analyzed. Mathematical models are developed by using the response surface method to formulate the cutting parameters experimental results shown that machining performance can be improved effectively by using this approach, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied to identify the most significant factor for the turning operations according to the weighted sum grade of the GRG. The predict responses shows the models have more than 95% of confident level of R2 value, from the obtained confirmation experiment result, it is observed, there is a good agreement between the estimated value and the experimental value of the grey relational grade. This experimental study reveals that the grey-Taguchi and RSM can be applied successfully for multi response characteristic performances.
