Abstract
Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approaches were employed to predict the sawability of a diamond frame saw to cut granites. FAHP is used to determine the weights of the criteria of decision-makers and TOPSIS is used to rank sawability. The sawability was evaluated by diamond segment wear. The prediction of segment wear is important to determine the segments service life and sawing cost and may determine cutting parameter selection for a given stone. Sawing experiments were conducted to verify the analysis result of the applied method in this study. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis. The ranking method can be used to evaluate segment wear. Stone properties, such as uniaxial compressive strength, shore hardness, quartz content, and bending strength, must be determined for the best segment wear ranking.
