Application of the analytic hierarchy process-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to assess the quality of electrophoresis on heavy-duty vehicle frames

The evaluation methods used to examine the quality of electrophoresis painting applied to heavy-duty vehicle frames in the automotive industry are not comprehensive. Therefore, this investigation presents such a method based on the present manufacturing situation concerning the electrophoresis process for frames, using an evaluation index system designed for frame electrophoresis quality management. Based on the previous literature, the analytic hierarchy processand the fuzzy evaluation method are employed in this study for the evaluation. Per the principle of maximum membership, we assessed the production quality of heavy-duty vehicle frames. The presentation quality was deemed “average,” while the paint film quality, corrosion resistance was good, and comprehensive evaluation grade were found to be “good.”. Together, these results contribute to the state of the art by facilitating an accurate evaluation of the quality of vehicle frame electrophoresis, improving the electrophoresis process for heavy-duty vehicle frames.
