Extensive research has been carried out to optimize the process parameters of several machining processes. Optimizing the influencing parameters of the turning operation is a precise action that determines the desired level of quality. This study focuses on the multi-criteria optimization of the CNC turning process parameters of stainless steel 303 (SS 303) material to achieve minimum surface roughness (Ra) with maximum material removal rate (MRR) by means of Taguchi-based grey relational analysis. A CNC machine was tested following Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array design. Grey relational analysis was used as the multi-criteria optimization tool. The significance of each individual process parameter on the overall characteristics of the turned specimen was estimated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Regression equations were generated using the input factors with the selected output parameters. In addition, a morphological study of the chips produced by the turning process was carried out using SEM images in order to relate the chip geometry with the output responses.

AbstractSurface roughness and heat-affected zone (HAZ) are the important features which influence the performance of the laser-drilled products. Understanding the influence of laser process parameters on these responses and identifying the cutting conditions for simultaneous optimization of these responses are a primary requirement in order to improve the laser drilling performance. Nevertheless, no such contribution has been made in the literature during laser drilling of AISI 303 material. The aim of the present work is to optimize the surface roughness (Ra) and HAZ in fibre laser drilling of AISI 303 material using Taguchi-based grey relational analysis (GRA). From the GRA methodology, the recommended optimum combination of process parameters is flushing pressure at 30 Pa, laser power at 2000 W and pulse frequency at 1500 Hz for simultaneous optimization of Ra and HAZ, respectively. From analysis of variance, the pulse frequency is identified as the most influenced process parameters on laser drilling process performance.
