Abstract
Multiple benefits and advantages that offer laser cutting technology are difficult to achieve if the laser cutting parameter conditions are not adequately set. Determining laser cutting conditions is not trivial task considering large number of controllable inputs, existence of multiple process performances which are often mutually opposed as well as effects of noise factors. Different scientific methods and engineering approaches represent more sophisticated approaches which aid assessment and determination of the most favourable (optimized) cutting conditions. This study is focused assessment and ranking of laser cutting conditions in CO2 laser cutting of AISI 316L stainless steel. Based on kerf width and surface roughness experimental data and estimation of material removal rate (MRR) and total variable costs, four criteria in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model were considered. For solving the developed model, six well-known MCDM methods were applied, and in addition, in order to overcome ranking inconsistency, robust decision-making rule was developed upon which final ranking was obtained.
