In this paper, parameter optimization of the electrical discharge machining process to Ti–6Al–4V alloy considering the multiple responses using the Taguchi method and grey relational analysis is reported. The multi-response optimization of the process parameters are material removal rate (MRR) and electrode wear rate (EWR). The machining parameters including discharge current, voltage, pulse on time and duty factor. Experiment based on the orthogonal array, The optimized process parameters simultaneously leading to a lower electrode wear ratio and higher material removal rate are then verified through a confirmation experiment. The experimental result for the optimal setting shows that there is considerable improvement in the process. The validation experiments show an improved electrode wear ratio of 2.8%, material removal rate of 45.8% when the Taguchi method and grey relational analysis are used.

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.

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.

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.

This paper investigates the influence of the process parameters like machining voltage, electrolyte concentration, frequency on the over cut and Material Removal Rate (MRR) on drilling of Al- 10% TiC Metal Matrix composites using Electrochemical Micro Machining (EMM) through taguchi methodology and grey relational analysis. Based on the analysis, optimum levels of parameters were determined and the same to validate through the confirmation test. Experimental results are in close agreement with the developed model. The confirmation results reveal that, there is considerable improvement in Material Removal Rate, Overcut. Grey relational grade are improved by 89.5 %, 57.9% and 95.16 % respectively. It is observed that the machining performance can be effectively improved with respect to initial parametric setting.

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.
