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 paper propose the optimization of the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process of SKD61 tool steel (AISI H13). The use of the Taguchi method combined with grey relational analysis and fuzzy logic has been applied for optimization of multiple quality characteristics. The WEDM machining parameters (arc on time, on time, open voltage, off time and servo voltage) were optimized with considerations of multiple performance characteristics, i.e., MRR, SR and kerf. Arc on time was set at two different levels while the other four were set at three different levels. Based on Taguchi method, an L18mixed-orthogonal array was chosen for the experiments. Experimental results have shown that machining performance characteristics of WEDM process can be improved effectively through the combination of Taguchi method and grey-fuzzy logic.

Grey Relational

This article focuses on an approach based on the Taguchi method with grey relational analysis for optimizing the process parameters for open-end spun yarns with multiple performance characteristics. A grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis is used to optimize the process parameters. Optimal process parameters can then be determined by the Taguchi method using the grey relational grade as the performance index. CVm%, hair number per meter, and tenacity of yarn were selected as quality characteristics. Using these characteristics, the process parameters, including rotor speed, rotor diameter, opener speed, yarn linear density and navel type are optimized. The raw materials used in this investigation were cotton fibers (35%) and cotton waste (65%) collected from ginning machines. The Experimental results show parameter rotor speed has the most significant effect on the multiple performance characteristics.
