Abstract

Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite materials are continuously displacing the traditional engineering materials and are finding increased applications in many fields, such as automobile, marine, sport goods, et cetera. Machining of these materials is needed to achieve near-net shape. In machining of composite materials, optimization of process parameters is an important concern. This chapter discusses the use of Taguchi method with Grey-fuzzy logic for the optimization of multiple performance characteristics considering material removal rate, surface roughness, and specific cutting pressure. Experiments were planned using Taguchi’s orthogonal array with the cutting conditions prefixed. The cutting parameters considered are workpiece (fiber orientation), cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, and machining time. The machining tests were performed on a lathe using coated cermet cutting tool. The results indicated that the optimization technique is greatly helpful in achieving better surface roughness and tool wear simultaneously in machining of GFRP composites.
