Materials selection is a multiple attribute decision making(MADM)problem.A lot of MADM methods are applicable to materials selection,and it may produce considerable differences between the results of materials selection.But it is unknown which MADM method is better.So it is desirable to decide reasonable final result of materials selection in consideration of the individual results from different MADM methods.In this paper,materials selection method combined with different MADM methods is proposed.The method is based on final ranks of alternative materials,where the final ranks are determined from the ranks of the alternative materials using different MADM methods.This method is applied to select optimal magnesium alloy material for automobile wheels.This method may be widely used to select optimal material in engineering practice.
