Concurrent optimization and prioritization of wire EDM parameters can improve resource allocations in material processing and should be effective. This study advances the integrated analytic (AHP)-Taguchi(T)-tournament-based-genetic algorithm (tGA) method to moderate the influence of erroneous resource allocation in parametric analysis decisions in wire electrical discharge machining. The structure builds on the AHP-T method’s platform obtained from the literature and develops it by including the tGA while processing the AZ91 magnesium alloy. The article evaluates the delta values for the average signal-to-noise ratios in the response table and deploys them to arrive at the winners in a league and consequently mutate the chromosomes for performance improvement. The scale of relative importance, consistency index, optimal parametric setting, delta values, and ranks are all established and coupled with the total value and maximum value evaluation at the selection crossover and mutation stages of the genetic algorithm. The results at the mutation, crossover, and selection stages of the tournament selection process showed total values of 124410, 96650, and 70564, respectively. At the selection stage, the maximum value to be the winner of the tournament is 28704. The crossover operation was accomplished after the 5th, 5th, and 6th bit for the first three pairs, respectively. For the selection and crossover operations, the maximum value is 28604 and 27944, respectively. The research clarifies which parameters are the best and worst during optimization using the AHP-T-tGA method.Downloads
