Popis: The robust design of turning parameters is dealing with the optimization of surface roughness and cutting force in turning of reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with 30% of carbon fibers (PEEK CF30) using TiN-coated cutting tools. The selected turning parameters include the cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Grey–Taguchi method is combining orthogonal array design of experiments with relational analysis, which enables the determination of the optimal combination of turning parameters with the multiple criteria. The basic aim of grey relational analysis is to find the grey relational grade, which can be used for the optimization conversion from a multi-criteria problem to a single objective problem. This study not only proposes a novel optimization technique, but also contributes the satisfactory solution for multiple CNC turning objectives with profound insight.
