Stainless steels are one of the most important engineering materials widely used in the industry. This paper presents multi-objective optimization of CO2 laser cutting of stainless steel considering different cut quality characteristics and material removal rate (MRR). Laser cutting experiment trials were conducted based on Taguchis L27 experimental design by varying the laser power, cutting speed, assist gas pressure and focus position at three levels. Using obtained experimental data, six mathematical models for the prediction of surface roughness, kerf width, kerf taper angle, width of heat affected zone, dross height and MRR were developed using artificial neural network (ANN). The developed mathematical models were taken as objective functions for the multi-objective optimization using genetic algorithm based on Pareto concept. As a result of multi-objective optimization, five 2-D Pareto fronts were generated covering all combinations of cut quality characteristics and MRR. It was observed that the mathematical relationships in the Pareto fronts between MRR and cut quality characteristics are in some cases linear and in another nonlinear.

Magnetic abrasive finishing is a super finishing process in which the magnetic field is applied in the finishing area and the material is removed from the workpiece by magnetic abrasive particles in the form of microchips. The performance of this process is decided by its two important quality characteristics, material removal rate and surface roughness. Significant process variables affecting these two characteristics are rotational speed of tool, working gap, weight of abrasive, and feed rate. However, material removal rate and surface roughness being conflicting in nature, a compromise has to be made between these two objective to improve the overall performance of the process. Hence, a multi-objective optimization using an artificial bee colony algorithm coupled with response surface methodology for mathematical modeling is attempted in this work. The set of Pareto-optimal solutions obtained by multi-objective optimization offers a ready reference to process planners to decide appropriate process parameters for a particular scenario.

This study presents the solving process of the multi-objective optimization problem using VIKOR method (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje, in Serbian) when turning the EN 10503 steel. The cutting velocity, feed rate, depth of cut, and insert nose radius were chosen as the input parameters with three levels of each parameter. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used to design the experimental matrix with nine experiments. By the combination of Taguchi and VIKOR methods, the multi-objective optimization problem was successfully solved with optimal values (cutting velocity of 78.62 m/min, feed rate of 0.08 mm/rev, cutting depth of 0.5 mm, and insert nose radius of 0.4 mm. Using these the optimized input parameters, the surface roughness, cutting force and vibration component amplitudes (in X, Y, Z directions), and material removal rate (MRR) were 0.621 µm, 191.084 N, 300.162 N, 51.727 N, 4.465 µm, 7.492 µm, 10.118 µm, and 60.009 mm3/s, respectively. This proposed method could be used to improve the quality and effectiveness of turning processes by improving the surface quality, reducing the cutting force and vibration amplitudes, and increasing the material removal rate.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have gained immense popularity as biomaterials in recent years. Their excellent specific strength makes them outstanding materials for orthopaedic applications. However, in the orthopaedic application, precise micro-drilling (i.e. implants inserts) is required, which is very challenging for these materials. To overcome this issue, the present research proposes an experimental study corroborated with a multi-objective optimization by simulating the drilling under electric discharge machining of Ti-6Al-4V. Taguchi’s methodology–based L9 orthogonal array was used for the experimental study. Voltage, current, pulse on and pulse off were used as the input parameters for the experimental investigation. In order to achieve suitable precise drilling, the material removal rate and surface finish were used as response parameters. Here, by optimizing parameters of the precise drilling, it is possible to obtain high material removal rate and better surface finish simultaneously. The Grey relational analysis was adopted to analyse the output quality characteristics. The optimized results generated through the Grey relational analysis are highly accurate with respect to the experimental outcomes.

An experimental investigation into CNC turning operation on Brass C36000 alloy as work piece material which is widely used for various industrial applications is performed. Multi objective optimization is carried out to find out the influencing machining parameters among spindle speed (rpm), feed (mm per revolution) and depth of cut (mm) for CNC turning of Brass C36000 alloy with surface finish and Material Removal Rate as performance parameters using Taguchi method. Taguchi orthogonal array [L27(33)] is used for the experimental design. All experiments are conducted using EMCO Concept Turn 250 machine tool with carbide insert cutting tool. The optimization result shows that feed is the most significant turning machining parameter for surface roughness while depth of cut has high influence on material removal rate followed by spindle speed during CNC turning of Brass C36000 alloy. Above results is further validated using ANOVA approach.
