A super alloy with high temperature resistance, high corrosion resistance, and high strength is iconel-718, which is based on nickel. In the biomedical, aerospace, marine, and automotive industries, nickel-based super alloys are frequently used. The super alloy inconel-718 is difficult to machine and to cut. For greater surface roughness, little tool wear, and minimal burr formation, which produces better results than conventional micro milling, a methodology using ultrasonic assisted micro milling is developed to address this problem. This experimental investigation uses 0.5mm diameter cutting tools with various coatings, such as TiAlN, TiSiN, and nACo, to evaluate the effects of various machining parameters on surface roughness, tool wear, and burr development. With four levels and five parameters—cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, coating, and amplitude of tool vibration—Taguchi L16 array is used to create experiments. The analysis of variance is performed using Minitab software. It provides the percentage influence of each element, and we can identify the best and worst set of parameters to achieve the desired results using main effect plots. For multi-objective optimization, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) is used to determine the best and worst parameter levels for each of the three answers. Confirmatory experiments revealed that ultrasonic aided micro milling produces better results than traditional micro milling with an amplitude of vibration of 9 m.
