nowadays, in order to reach minimum production cost in machining operations, various optimization methods have been proposed. since turning operation has different parameters affecting the workpiece quality, it was selected as a complicated manufacturing method in this paper. to reach sufficient quality, all influencing parameters such as cutting speed, federate, depth of cut and tool rake angl...

this study focused on the optimization of al—mg to cuzn34 friction stir lap welding (fslw) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using grey relational analysis (gra). first, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

Warpage and shrinkage control are important factors in proving the quality of thin-wall parts in injection modeling process. In the present paper, grey relational analysis was used in order to optimize these two parameters in manufacturing plastic bush of articulated garden tractor. The material used in the plastic bush is Derlin 500. The input parameters in the process were selected according ...

due to the importance of “service quality and customerssatisfaction” subject, this study seeks to investigate and prioritize thefactors which are effective on service quality and customers satisfactionusing grey relational analysis (gra) method. in the case of statisticalpopulations with large sizes, none of the other methods can competewith gra from the viewpoint of calculation accuracy. the s...

Considering the concept of clustering, the main idea of the present study is based on the fact that all stocks for choosing and ranking will not be necessarily in one cluster. Taking the mentioned point into account, this study aims at offering a new methodology for making decisions concerning the formation of a portfolio of stocks in the stock market. To meet this end, Multiple-Criteria Decisi...

This study investigated the optimization of three welding parameters (wire feed speed, arc voltage, and shielding gas flow rate) for SS 304H by using Taguchi based Grey relational analysis. In this research work, pure argon was used as shielding gas. Numbers of trials were performed as per L16 (4xx3) orthogonal array design and the mechanical quality such ultimate tensile strength, microhardnes...

In this paper, wire electrical discharge machining of D3 tool steel is studied. Influence of pulse-on time, pulse-off time, peak current and wire speed are investigated for MRR, dimensional deviation, gap current and machining time, during intricate machining of D3 tool steel. Taguchi method is used for single characteristics optimization and to optimize all four process parameters simultaneous...

In-situ aluminum matrix composite is the innovation of high performance material technology and it has superior interfacial integrity and thermodynamic stability between the matrix and reinforcement. During synthesis, the ZrB2 particle is formed by exothermic reaction within the aluminum melt. As a result, small, fine and oxide free reinforcements are formed. Excessive temperature released from...
