Tribology deals with friction, wear and lubricants. It plays an important role in mechanical field. It finds its major application in industrial and automotive sector, in which this thesis considered the tribology in metal removal industrial sector. In that application, the role of cutting fluid in lathe machining operations have been chosen. One of the most important challenging cases is to minimize the friction in machining of titanium alloys. While machining, the heat should be minimized as low as possible. This thesis deals with the study of cutting fluids in machining of titanium alloys. The problem occurs while using mineral oil as a cutting fluid in machining that it is non-biodegradable in nature and affects the environment while disposing it. This thesis aims to identify the alternate cutting fluids instead of mineral oil, which is to be effective cooling and non-toxic to environment. For that, Machining condition should be controllable by using some grammar rule without affecting the Productivity.

Application of conventional cutting fluids do not serve the purposes effectively particularly under high cutting velocity and feed. Besides, such cutting fluids pollute the environment in high production machining and grinding. Cryogenic cooling seemed to be quite effective in reducing the high cutting temperature which impairs product quality and reduces tool life. The present work deals with investigating the role of cryogenic cooling by liquid nitrogen jet on cutting temperature in turning plain carbon steel (C-40) under varying cutting velocity and feed. The experimental and computational results indicate that such cryogenic cooling enables substantial reduction in the cutting temperature depending upon the levels of the cutting velocity and feed and the cutting tool geometry. It was also noted that the chip formation and chip-tool interaction become more favorable and the cutting forces decreased to some extent when liquid nitrogen jet was employed. Therefore, it appears that cryogenic cooling, if properly employed, not only provides environment friendliness but can also improve the machinability characteristics.
