  Optimization of EDM Machining Characteristics of Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites by Taguchi

  By Rajkumar Subburathinam, Mohamed Hamdan A, Sathiyalingam Kannaiyan, D. Madesh, Vijayaraj T.

  Abstract: Aluminium alloys metal matrix composites (AMMC) play a vital role in various industries, such as aerospace and automobiles. This study investigates the machining characteristics of AL8079 - based composites reinforced with 15 wt. % TiB₂ and 5 wt. % MoS₂ using Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). The machining process was optimized using the L9 orthogonal array (OA) Taguchi - based design of experiments, and input parameters were considered at three levels, …

  Optimization of Sustainable Electrochemical Machining Parameters for Polymer based Materials Using AHP Integrated TOPSIS Method

  By S. Chandrasekhar, M. V. Ramesh, Arief Sheik, K. Srirama Murthy, K.S.B.S.V.S. Sastry, Shaik Sohail

  Abstract: The current paper describes the use of the AHP-TOPSIS method to optimize process parameters in sustainable electrochemical machining of polymer composites. Combine lightweight polymer matrices with reinforcing particles or fibers such as TiB₂, SiC, or Al₂O₃, offering high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility, making them ideal for aerospace and automotive applications. Non-conductive and heterogeneous nature poses challenges during electrochemical machining, as it affects current distribution and material removal …
