Hard coating material selection using multi-criteria decision making

Evaluation of the wear behavior of nitride-based PVD coatings using different multi-criteria decision-making methods

“…There is no single MCDM technique that can be deemed superior for all decision-making problems. 27 TOPSIS, EXPROM2 (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation), VIKOR (Vi{ekri-terijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje -Multicriteria Optimization and Compromise Solution), ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Expressing the Reality), Linear Assignment Method, and COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment) 24 are among the MCDM methods used by researchers for optimum selection among a variety of options in industrial problems.…”

“…The TOPSIS method was used by A. Chauhan and R. Vaish 27 for the selection of the best alternative among hard coatings based on their hardness, Young's modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, H/E and H 3 /E 2 ratios. H. Çalýþkan et al 24 used EXPROM2, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods to select the best coating material among a variety of multicomponent nanostructured boron-based hard coatings deposited using magnetron-sputtering and ion-implementation-assisted magnetron-sputtering methods in consideration of their hardness, Young's modulus, elastic recovery, friction coefficient, and critical load.…”

nvestigation of Tribological Properties and Optimal Coating Material Selection for AISI 4140 Using TOPSIS and Taguchi Method

“…Various quantitative decision making approaches are employed to select hard coating material selection. Technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is used for ranking these materials [17]. The TOPSIS method determines a solution with the shortest distance to the ideal solution and the greatest distance from the negative-ideal solution, but it does not consider the relative importance of these distances [18] .…”

Piezoelectric materials selection for sensor applications using finite element and multiple attribute decision-making approaches

“…These techniques have also been found to be effective in the selection of materials for specific applications. 33 However, the MADM methods are not completely reliable as their results are not directly correlated to physical performance of any device. This paper is a first attempt to correlate and compare the results of MADM approaches with results obtained from finite element method (FEM)-based simulations for cantilever type sensor applications.…”
