Abstract

In the present work, the use of the grey relational analysis and fuzzy logic combined with Taguchi method has been proposed for optimizing Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process with multiple responses involved. The study aims at simultaneous optimization of quality and productivity. Quality and productivity are correlated inversely. If product quality is intended to be increased then extent of productivity is to be compromised and vice versa. Therefore, a compatible balance is necessary between productivity and product quality. The study addresses a case study related to EDM in which material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra value) of the machined work surface have been optimized.
