Abstract
New materials lead to the occurrence of high technology industries. These materials are high strength, corrosion and heat resistant steel alloys, titanium, ceramics, composites, and other non-metallic materials. Conventional machining methods are not proper to machine these materials in terms of high surface quality. Such materials are generally processed using non-traditional machining methods. Multi criteria decision making models (MCDM) are extensively used in material-process selection, and optimization of machining problems in engineering. In this study, a novel hybrid optimization model is proposed. Taguchi method is hybridized with Reference Ideal Method. The model is tested using two case studies (conventional and non-traditional machining problems) taken from literature. The proposed model can be used by engineers and operators in manufacturing environment
