The machinability of titanium alloys still represents a demanding challenge and the development of new clean technologies to lubricate and cool is greatly needed. As a sustainable alternative to mineral oil, esters have shown excellent performance during machining. Herein, the aim of this work is to investigate the influence of esters’ molecular structure in oil-in-water emulsions and their interaction with the surface to form a lubricating film, thus improving the efficiency of the cutting fluid. The lubricity performance and tool wear protection are studied through film formation analysis and the tapping process on Ti6Al4V. The results show that the lubricity performance is improved by increasing the formation of the organic film on the metal surface, which depends on the ester’s molecular structure and its ability to adsorb on the surface against other surface-active compounds. Among the cutting fluids, noteworthy results are obtained using trimethylolpropane trioleate, which increases the lubricating film formation (containing 62% ester), thus improving the lubricity by up to 12% and reducing the torque increase due to tool wear by 26.8%. This work could be very useful for fields where often use difficult-to-machine materials—such as Ti6Al4V or γ-TiAl – which require large amounts of cutting fluids, since the formulation developed will allow the processes to be more efficient and sustainable.

The low workability of special brands corrosion-proof, heat resisting and high-resistance steels and alloys, widespread in details and nodes of modern machines, causes high labour input and the cost price of their manufacture. In this connection probes of possibilities of heightening of capacity and lowering of the cost price of handling of these materials at the expense of improvement of working conditions of the cutting instrument and, in particular, at the expense of application of various technological cutting fluid (TCF). High temperatures in a workpiece range, arising because of low heat conduction of intractable materials, define necessity of probe of the temperature phenomena for a cutting zone. The further development of a technique of definition of temperatures is of interest for these aspects of materials in a cutting zone at use ТСF and the account of their influence on a choice of optimum conditions of cutting. Researches of limitations on the roughness of the treated surface and cutting temperature are executed, in-use during optimization of cutting regimes at finish turning stainless materials, including with the use of technological cutting fluid. Analytical dependences of optimum cutting serve and speed from the parameters of finish turning process are set, providing the quantitative estimation of possibilities of the cutting regimes increase due to application of TCF. The estimation of efficiency of TCF application is executed on the basis of coefficient of increase of the treatment productivity.

Titanium alloys, as difficult-to-cut materials, have poor machinability due to their superior mechanical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. High cutting temperature and great cutting force that will greatly accelerate tool wear often occurs in titanium alloys cutting process. In this paper, an ultrasonic vibration turning method was used to lower diamond tool wear during TC4 titanium alloy turning process. Ultrasonic vibration turning tests were carried out with various cutting parameters. Experimental results indicated that there’s a significant reduction of the wear rate of diamond tools by means of ultrasonic vibration in TC4 turning process. For ultrasonic vibration turning, spindle speed, the amplitude and frequency of vibration of the tool are the greatest impact of tool wear, followed by feed rate, then the cutting depth.

Abstract In Part 1 of this paper, models were developed to describe the formation mechanisms and dynamic behavior of cutting fluid mist. This part of the paper focuses on experimentally investigating mist formation during the turning process, and then simulating the dynamic behavior of the mist droplets, including the distribution and the mass concentration. Simulation results are compared to experimental measurements to validate the theoretical models presented in Part 1. It is seen that the model predictions adequately characterize the observed experimental behavior.

Machining process should also consider environmental aspect, with power consumption as one of the criteria. Cutting parameters can be optimized to minimize power consumption. This paper takes a study on turning of nickel-based hastelloy under dry condition (no cutting fluid) which varies cutting speed (150, 200, and 250 m/min) and depth of cut (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm). Power consumption of particular machining process at various cutting parameters was derived and calculated. It was found that minimum power consumption was shown when the turning process was performed at the lowest cutting speed and depth of cut.
