It is very important and complexity to find the optimum values of wire EDM process parameters and contribution of each parameter to attain the better performance characteristics. In this study, an attempt has been made to optimize those parameters while machining the titanium alloy. Since the process involves more one than one response parameter, it is essential to carry out the multi-response optimization methodology .The experiments have been conducted with different levels of input factors such as pulse on time,pulse off time and wire tension based on Taguchi L9 orthogonal table.Wire EDM optimal process parameter has been identified using grey relational analysis and significant parameter has been determined by analysis of variance. Experimental results have indicated that the multi-response characteristic such as material removal rate and surface roughness can be improved effectively through grey relational analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to develop 7 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia (7YSZ) thermal barrier coatings by optimization of the atmospheric plasma spraying process parameters. Multiple-performance characteristics, such as coating thickness and surface roughness were considered for optimization. Eighteen experimental runs based on the L18 orthogonal arrays of the Taguchi method were used to show the best conditions among the plasma spraying parameters. Thereafter, best possible process parameters were obtained by the analysis of variance using grey relational analysis as the quality guide. Results signify the application possibility of the grey-based Taguchi technique for continuous development of quality coating in the area of advanced manufacturing technology.

This paper investigates multi-objective optimization of electrical discharge machining process parameters using a new combination of Taguchi method and principal component analysis based grey relational analysis. In this study, three conflicting performance characteristics related to surface integrity such as surface roughness, white layer thickness and surface crack density are considered in electrical discharge machining of RENE80 nickel super alloy. The process parameters considered are peak current, pulse on time and pulse off time. The experiments are conducted based on Taguchi method and these experimental results are used in grey relational analysis and weights of the corresponding performance characteristics are determined by principal component analysis. The weighted grey relational grade is used as a performance index to determine optimum process parameters and results of the confirmation experiments indicate that the combined approach is effective in determining optimum process parameters.
