Optimization of Process Parameters in Electrochemical Micromachining of AMCs by Using Different Techniques of Weight Evaluation

The application of electrode heating is proposed in electrochemical micromachining (EMM). In the EMM process, the temperature of the electrode, voltage, duty cycle, and electrolyte concentration are considered process parameters.

description The application of electrode heating is proposed in electrochemical micromachining (EMM). In the EMM process, the temperature of the electrode, voltage, duty cycle, and electrolyte concentration are considered process parameters. Taguchi L18 mixed-level orthogonal array (OA) design was adopted for designing the experiments and this study highlights the effect of temperature on responses such as radial overcut (ROC), material removal rate (MRR), and conicity factor (CF). In addition, multicriterion design making (MCDM) with VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje, i.e., multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution) technique is used for finding the best alternatives based on the distinct weight assessing methods such as equal weights method (EWM), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and entropy-based weights method (EBWM). Furthermore, a confirmation test is also conducted to find the best optimal parameters and their levels among the EWM-VIKOR, AHP-VIKOR, and EBWM-VIKOR. The results revealed that AHP-VIKOR provides a maximum improvement of 0.945 among the three methods.
