Abstract
An effective technique, Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis (TGRA) has been applied for optimization of quality characteristics in abrasive flow finishing (AFF) of multiple holes in zinc components with simultaneous consideration of multiple output responses. The technique combines Taguchi’s orthogonal array DOE with the grey relational analysis to identify the optimal setting of AFF process parameters which yields enhanced overall quality characteristics, higher values of material removal and change in surface roughness, in finish-machining of multiple holes in zinc components. The parameter settings, within the studied range, having highest values of grey relational grade yield enhanced quality characteristics, in terms of material removal and change in surface roughness values, and depict the optimal setting of AFF parameters. The algorithm greatly simplifies multi-objective optimization of quality in abrasive flow finishing of multiple holes in zinc components and experimental results confirm significant improvement in quality.
