As the population of the world is continuously increasing, the demand of the mechanical manufactured products is also increasing. Machining is the most important process in any mechanical manufacturing, and in machining two factors i.e. Material removal rate (MRR) and Surface roughness (SR) are the most important responses. If the MRR will be high, the product will get desired shape in minimum time so the production rate will be high, but we could not scarify with the surface finishing also because in close tolerance limit parts like in automobile industry if the surface is rough exact fit cannot take place. So here aim is to maximise MRR and minimise surface roughness and process control variable are taken to be transverse speed, standoff distance, abrasive flow rate, and water pressure. Here Grey relational analysis is used to convert multi responses into single response and optimal parameter setting and most significant parameter is found with the help of S/N ratio.

Due to inherent properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, it is being used in the application of fuel injector nozzle for diesel engine, aerospace and marine industries. Since the electrochemical micromachining process involves the no heat-affected zone, no tool wear, stress- and burr-free process compared to other micromachining processes, it is widely used in the manufacturing field to fabricate complex shape and die. Hence, it is highly important to compute the optimum input parameters for enhancing the machining characteristics in such machining process. In this study, an attempt has been made to find the influence of the process parameters and optimize the parameters on machining α–β titanium alloy using Taguchi-grey relational analysis. Since applied voltage, micro-tool feed rate, electrolyte concentration and duty cycle have vital role in the process, these parameters have been chosen as the input parameters to evaluate the performance measures such as material removal rate, surface roughness and overcut in this study. From the experimental results, it has been found that micro-tool feed rate has more influence due to its importance in maintaining inter electrode gap to avoid micro-spark generation. It has also been found that lower electrolyte concentration with lower duty cycle produces lower surface roughness with better circularity on machining α–β titanium alloy. The optimum combination has been found using Taguchi-grey relational analysis and verified from confirmation test. It has also been inferred that the multi-response characteristics such as material removal rate, surface roughness and overcut can be effectively improved through the grey relational analysis.

Automotive shafts require maximum strength with regard to axial, bending and torsional loading to transmit power to various parts of a vehicle. Hence, it is very critical to analyse the manufacturing process and its governing parameters to exercise control over the surface properties of the shaft as it needs to be precisely manufactured in terms of dimensions and the surface roughness. The effect of three input parameters over two responses are considered as two major criteria's for production of shaft. The input parameters are speed, feed and depth of cut whereas the responses are material removal rate and surface roughness. Central Composite design was used and experimental results were analysed with Response Surface Methodology. ANOVA analysis was carried out to identify the most contributing parameter for MRR and SR. Grey Relational Analysis was adopted to identify the most feasible combination of machining parameters for turning process. The optimized parameter is identified as speed of 1000 rpm, 0.15 mm of feed and 0.35 mm of depth of cut using Grey Relational Analysis.

This paper presents an optimum method to find the significant parameters affecting Wire Electrical Discharge machining (WEDM) performance using Grey relational analysis. A413 Aluminium Alloy reinforced with 20 microns of Boron Carbide and 75 microns of Fly Ash, hybrid composites was fabricated using stir casting technique. Experiments have been conducted with the process parameters like pulse on time, pulse off time, wire feed, gap voltage and weight percentage reinforcement with three different levels. The influence of each parameter on the responses material removal rate and surface roughness is established using analysis of variances (ANOVA). The optimal machining-parameters setting for minimum surface roughness and maximum material removal rate was obtained by applying Grey relational analysis.

In order to change the current situation of gun-receiver manual polishing, the paper presents a new process for abrasive belt grinding of gun-receiver material (C50 steel). Orthogonal test were conducted with abrasive belt grinding of C50 steel to do research on material removal rate and surface roughness. The best parameter combination to the optimization design which can guarantee high material removal rate and low surface roughness was obtained by using grey relational analysis method and verified by experiments. The above mentioned research not only can improve the removal rate of C50 steel, but also do help to prolong the service life of the belt. Whats more, it can guide a theoretical significance and practical value to the production practice.

In automobile industries, usage of unconventional machining is increased due to their precision and accuracy. This research work is planned to upgrade the Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) process parameters by considering the impact of discharge current, pulse on time, pulse off time and servo speed rate. Tests have been led with these parameters for the measurement of metal removal rate and surface roughness for each of the trial run. This information has been used to fit a quadratic numerical model. Predicted information has been used as a graphical representation for demonstrating the impact of the parameters on chose reactions. Predicted information given by the models has been utilized as a part of an ideal parametric mix to accomplish the unrealistic yield of the procedure. Response surface method with grey relational analysis has been utilized for enhancement. The ideal value has been checked to the predicted value from the confirmation tests.
