Multi Response Optimization of Laser Micro Marking Process:A Grey- Fuzzy Approach

Abstract

The selection of optimal parametric combination for efficient machining has always become a challenging issue for the manufacturing researcher. The optimal parametric combination always provides a better machining which improves the productivity, product quality and subsequently reduces the production cost and time. The paper presents the hybrid approach of Grey relational analysis and Fuzzy logic to obtain the optimal parametric combination for better laser beam micro marking on the Gallium Nitride (GaN) work material. The response surface methodology has been implemented for design of experiment considering three parameters with their five levels. The parameter such as current, frequency and scanning speed has been considered and the mark width, mark depth and mark intensity has been considered as the process response.
