Abstract
This study deals with the selection of the cutting process using the grey fuzzy relation approach. The analysis was performed using plasma arc machining, laser beam machining, and abrasive waterjet machining on three different workpiece thicknesses with different cutting speeds. The objective was to select the best cutting process considering several performance characteristics such as machining time, dimensional accuracy, kerf width, and surface roughness. Data normalization, grey relation coefficients, fuzzy inference system, and grey fuzzy relation grade are used to evaluate the machining performances of the machining processes. The developed fuzzy model can be used to study the effects of different cutting processes on technological features. The results show that the grey fuzzy technique can be effectively used for the analysis and selection of cutting processes.
