Abstract
Determination of optimal cutting parameters is one of the vital modules in process planning of parts since economy of machining operations plays an important role in increasing productivity and competitiveness. Recently, Gadakh and Shinde (Int J Adv Manuf Technol 2011) presented a graph theory and matrix approach (GTMA) and few other multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods for selection of cutting parameters in side milling operation in their paper “Selection of cutting parameters in side milling operation using graph theory and matrix approach” Gadakh and Shinde (Int J Adv Manuf Technol DOI 10.1007/S00170-011-3256-Z, 2011). The authors had presented the experimental results of Chiang-Kao and Lu (Int J Adv Manuf Technol 34:440–447, 2007) to demonstrate the proposed methods. However, the systematic procedures of GTMA and the other MADM methods were already reported exhaustively by Rao (2007), and Gadakh and Shinde (Int J Adv Manuf Technol 2011) had reproduced the related contents. Many computational and fundamental mistakes were also present in their work. Furthermore, the authors had presented the incorrect values of metal removal rate (MRR) and these values were different from the values presented by Chiang-Kao and Lu (Int J Adv Manuf Technol 34:440–447, 2007). This note discusses these mistakes and presents the correct approaches and the results.
