Application of the Collaborative Unbiased Rank List Integration Method to Select the Materials

For a machining processes, the material selection that is very important, greatly affect both on the economic and technical efficiency of these processes. The selection of each material often was considered many criteria, which have different values in different materials. Multi-criteria decision making that is a technique is used to slove with situations of this type. The collaborative unbiased rank list integration that is a recently proposed multi-criteria decision making method and has only used in a handful of published studies. In this study, this method was used to select the materials for the industrial fields. Material selection in three different areas was performed. In each case, the ranking results of the solutions by the collaborative unbiased rank list integration method were compared with those ones of other methods. The results showed that this method is completely reliable when using for material selection with the considering of multiple criteria. Moreover, the strength of this method is that it does not occur any ranking reversion phenomenon even when considered in different scenarios.
