This paper presents an optimal cutting-parameter design of heavy cutting in side milling for SUS304 stainless steel. The orthogonal array with relational analysis is applied to optimize the side milling process with multiple performance characteristics. A grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis is used as a performance index to determine the optimal cutting parameters. The selected cutting parameters are cutting speed, feed per tooth, axial depth of cut, and radial depth of cut, while the considered performance characteristics are tool life and metal removal rate. Experimental results have shown that cutting performance in the side milling process for heavy cutting can be significantly improved through this approach.

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 applied Grey-Taguchi method to optimize the micro-drilling of PMMA polymer with multiple performance characteristics. The four parameters being optimized are coating layer, feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut. The performance of the drilling process was evaluated by two performance characteristics, namely drill wear and surface roughness. The orthogonal array, grey relational analysis, and analysis of variance were used to study the two performance indices. The optimal combination of parameters was determined by using the grey relational grade, a performance index formed by combining the two performance characteristics. The experimental results show that TiAlN-coating drills generate least wear and thus possess the longest tool life and the best holes quality. Finally, confirmation experiments were conducted to confirm the validity of the results.


In this paper, a grey relational analysis method based on Taguchi is proposed to improve the multi-performance characteristics of VMC shoulder milling process parameters in the processing of AA6063 T6. Taking into account four process parameters such as coolant, depth of cut,speed and feed, there are three level of each process parameter in addition to two levels of coolant. 18 experiments were used by L18 orthogonal array using the taguchi method. Multi-performance features like surface roughness and material removal rate are used. Grey Relational Analysis method is used to obtain the Grey Relational Grade, and the multiperformance characteristics of the process are pointed out. Then, the Taguchi response table method and ANOVA are used to analysis data. In order to ensure the validity of the test results, a confirmation test was conducted. The study also shows that this method can effectively improve the multi-function characteristics of shoulder milling process.In his work microstructure and mechanical properties of AA6063 T6before and after shoulder milling have been investigated.

This study investigates the optimization of CNC turning operation parameters for Al6061 nickel coated graphite (NCG) metal matrix composite using the Taguchi based grey relational analysis method. The turning operations are carried out with carbide cutting tool inserts. According to the Taguchi quality concept, 3-level orthogonal array was chosen for the experiments. The experiments are conducted at three different cutting speeds (125, 175, 225m/min) with feed rates (0.1, 0.15, 0.2mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.5, 1, 1.5mm) and different % of reinforcement (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%), signal to noise ratio and the analysis of variance are used to optimize cutting parameters. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface roughness and MRR are analyzed. Mathematical models are developed by using the response surface method to formulate the cutting parameters experimental results shown that machining performance can be improved effectively by using this approach, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied to identify the most significant factor for the turning operations according to the weighted sum grade of the GRG. The predict responses shows the models have more than 95% of confident level of R2 value, from the obtained confirmation experiment result, it is observed, there is a good agreement between the estimated value and the experimental value of the grey relational grade. This experimental study reveals that the grey-Taguchi and RSM can be applied successfully for multi response characteristic performances.

This paper studied an effective method based on Taguchi's method with the grey relational analysis, focusing on the optimization of milling parameters on surface integrity in milling TB6 alloy. The grey relational grade that is derived from the grey relational analysis is mainly used to determine the optimum cutting process operations with multiple performance characteristics. Specifically, surface roughness (Ra), hardness, and residual stress were important characteristics in surface integrity of milling TB6 alloy. Based on the combination of these multiple performance characteristics, the feed per tooth, cutting speed, and depth of cut were optimized in this study. Additionally, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also applied to determine the most significant factor for the surface integrity of milling TB6 alloy according to the contribution of the ANOVA, and the most significant factor is the cutting speed in this paper. Based on the analysis, the experimental test results have been improved prominently through the grey relational analysis. Hence this method can be an effective approach to enhance the surface integrity of milling TB6 alloy.

The objective of this work is to study the influence of end milling cutting process parameters, tool material and geometry on multi-response outputs for 4032 Al-alloy. This can be done by proposing an approach that combines Taguchi method with grey relational analysis. Three cutting parameters have been selected (spindle speed, feed rate and cut depth) with three levels for each parameter. Three tools with different materials and geometry have been also used to design the experimental tests and runs based on matrix L9. The end milling process with several output characteristics is solved using a grey relational analysis. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the major influencing parameters on multi-objective response were spindle speed and cutting tool with contribution percentage (52.75%, 24%), respectively. In addition, the optimum combination of end milling process parameters was then validated by performing confirmation tests to determine the improvement in multi-response outputs. The confirmation tests obtained a minimum (surface roughness and micro-hardness) and maximum metal removal rate with grey relational grade of 0.784 and improvement percentage of 2.3%.

The tool geometric angle and cutting parameters have a significant influence on the titanium alloy milling process by the usage of solid carbide end mills.The physical simulation method was applied to predict the cutting force and temperature by using two comparative sets of simulation data such as the different tool gemetric angle as tool rake angle, helix angle and different cutting parameters such as spindle speed, axial depth of cut, radial depth of cut. Thus are the commonly used methods to simulate and predict the cutting process before the actual production, which can reduce product cost and time.
