Abstract
This study reveals the multi objective optimization of machining parameters in drilling of SiC reinforced with aluminium metal matrix composites through grey relational analysis. The composite is prepared with varying volume fraction of the reinforcement by liquid metal stir casting technique. Uniform distribution of SiC particle in the matrix is witnessed through microscopy study and observed that the hardness and strength on different composite. The drilling experiments were performed with coated carbide tool with different point angle such as 90o, 120o and 140o. Cutting speed, feed, point angle and volume fraction are considered as input parameters and the performance characteristics such as surface roughness and thrust force are observed as output response in this study. The significant contributions of these factors are determined using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The optimized process parameters have been validated by the confirmation test. The experimental result shows that point angle influences more on output performance followed by feed and cutting speed.
