Optimization of Drilling Process Parameters on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Using Integrated GRA - Taguchi method

Abstract

The optimization of process parameters is of prime importance for the industry to be able to control and optimise the material cost and time effectively. In this paper the average thrust force on the tool, tool wear and average temperature of the work-piece are obtained from the simulation model developed using DEFORM software. The work-piece used was Ti-6Al-4V and tool used is carbide type drill. Optimisation of the values is done using Integrated GRA-Taguchi method.
