Abstract

Machining of the nickel-based alloy is very demanding due to its extreme mechanical properties, for example, higher fatigue strength, better corrosion and creep resistance feature, substantial work hardening capability, and appreciable tensile and shear strength. Owing to these properties, the selection of machining parameters is a major challenge for modern machining industries. Therefore, the present experimental work is carried out to select the best parametric combination of the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) machine for reducing machining cost and human effort. The Trapezoidal Interval Type-2 fuzzy number (T2FS) integrated Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)-based Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method is used for selecting the best WEDM process parameters of Inconel-800 superalloy. Finally, the results were compared with some existing multi-criteria decision-making methods to confirm the validity of the adopted method. The comparison shows that Type-2 Fuzzy AHP-ARAS synergy can help to formulate the problem and facilitate the assessment and ranking of WEDM process parameters when multiple criteria are jointly considered.
