This study presents the optimization of machining parameters on ZE41 Mg alloy fabricated by gravity die casting and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Focus on the optimization of machining parameters using the technique to get minimum surface roughness, cutting force, thermal stress, residual stress, chip thickness and maximum MRR. A number of machining experiments were conducted based on the L27 orthogonal array on computer numerical control vertical machining center. The experiments were performed on ZE41 using cutting tool of an ISO 460. 1-1140-034A0-XM GC3 of 20, 25 and 30mm diameter with cutting point 140 degrees, for different cutting conditions. TOPSIS and ANOVA were used to work out the fore most important parameters cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and tool diameter which affect the response. The expected values and measured values are fairly close. Finally, the study for optimizing machining process is surveyed and results show improvement in real experiments.
