Performance Analysis of Cylindrical Grinding Process Parameters Using Grey Relational Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present research work involves investigating the cylindrical grinding process parameters of Al/SiC metal matrix composites during machining. The effect of grinding process parameters on grinding force, surface roughness and grinding temperature were investigated experimentally using L27 orthogonal array. Grinding process was carried out using different combination of wheel velocity, workpiece velocity, feed rate and depth of cut. The significant grinding process parameters have been determined by using ANOVA. The grey grades identify the optimum level grinding process parameters. From the grey relational grade, low wheel velocity, medium workpiece velocity, medium feed rate and medium depth of cut gives the best results.
