Optimizing multiple quality characteristics via Taguchi method-based Grey analysis

In this paper, parameter optimization of the electrical discharge machining process to Ti–6Al–4V alloy considering multiple performance characteristics using the Taguchi method and grey relational analysis is reported. Performance characteristics including the electrode wear ratio, material removal rate and surface roughness are chosen to evaluate the machining effects. The process parameters selected in this study are discharge current, open voltage, pulse duration and duty factor. Experiments based on the appropriate orthogonal array are conducted first. The normalised experimental results of the performance characteristics are then introduced to calculate the coefficient and grades according to grey relational analysis. The optimised process parameters simultaneously leading to a lower electrode wear ratio, higher material removal rate and better surface roughness are then verified through a confirmation experiment. The validation experiments show an improved electrode wear ratio of 15%, material removal rate of 12% and surface roughness of 19% when the Taguchi method and grey relational analysis are used.

Optimization of the EDM parameters on machining Ti–6Al–4V with multiple quality characteristics

In this paper a new approach for the optimization of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process with multiple performance characteristics based on the orthogonal array with the grey relational analysis has been studied. A grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis is used to solve the EDM process with the multiple performance characteristics. Optimal machining parameters can then be determined by the grey relational grade as the performance index. In this study, the machining parameters, namely workpiece polarity, pulse on time, duty factor, open discharge voltage, discharge current, and dielectric fluid are optimized with considerations of multiple performance characteristics including material removal rate, surface roughness, and electrode wear ratio. Experimental results have shown that machining performance in the EDM process can be improved effectively through this approach.
