Abstract:

Selection and evaluation of the Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) process parameters now have been receiving significant consideration in the current manufacturing environment because the MAF process offers opportunities to improve productivity, competitiveness and profitability. Selection of the optimal MAF process parameters while considering the multiple conflicting criteria is often a difficult task for decision-makers. This study presents the use of the preference selection index method (PSI) and Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method for the selection of the optimal MAF process parameters for desired output for stainless steel SS316 material. Further, results obtained using PSI and CoCoSo methods are verified with the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method.

Keywords:

MAF process, Stainless steel SS316 material, PSI method, CoCoSo method, WASPAS method and Taguchi design.
