“…Table 8 shows applications of multiple MCDM methods considered for optimizing the EDM processes. From this table, it can be unveiled that the researchers (Das et al, 2018;Pradhan, 2018;Yuvaraj and Suresh, 2019;Kumar and Mondal, 2020; Rai, 2020; Sahu and Mahapatra, 2020;Bhosale et al, 2021;Srinivasan et al, 2021b;Jana et al, 2021;Patnaik et al, 2022) have maximally preferred to employ both GRA and TOPSIS in identifying the optimal combinations of the EDM parameters. During machining of Si 3 N 4 -TiN ceramic material using an EDM process, Srinivasan et al (2021b) applied both GRA and TOPSIS to achieve the same optimal intermix of EDM parameters as Ip = 10 A, Ton = 8 μs, Toff = 4 μs, PF = 20 kg/cm 2 and Vs. = 32 V to achieve the measured response values as MRR = 0.00584 g/min, SR = 1.41 μm, TWR = 0.00118 g/min, PER = 0.0321 mm and PAR = 0.0411 mm.…”
