This study aims to observe the tool deterioration following application of minimum quantity lubrication method (MQL). The designed MQL system is completed with an Arduino controller system which was able to be either manually-controlled or automatically-controlled. The tool used in this study is DCMT 11 insert type. The Taguchi method using the Orthogonal Array L9 design was used to compile the design of experiments with variations in depth of cut, coolant composition, and cooling fluid application methods. Each variable consists of three levels. Tool deterioration evaluated by observing it under an optic microscope from three sides of the tool. There are four levels of tool deterioration. The value of tool deterioration of each tool is the accumulation of each side view. ANOVA analysis found that depth of cut, cutting tool composition and method of applying coolant influence tool deterioration in percentage by 32.69%, 17.30 % and 12.82% respectively. Moreover, the minimum tool deterioration would be achieved when using the parameter combination of depth of cut of 1.6 mm; mixture composition of 3:7; and using the temperature-controlled MQL.

Machining with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has gained widespread attention to boost machining performance of difficult to machine materials such as Ni-Cr alloys, especially to reduce the negative impact of conventional flooded machining on environment and machine operator health. The present study is aimed to evaluate MQL face milling performance of Inconel 625 using nano cutting fluid based on vegetable oil mixed with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Experiments were designed with 2-level factorial design methodology. ANOVA test and desirability optimisation method were employed to arrive at optimised milling parameters to achieve minimum tool wear and machined surface quality. Experiments were performed under nanoparticles based minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) conditions using different weight concentrations of MWCNT in base oil: 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.25 and 1.5 wt. %; and pure MQL environment (without nanoparticles). The optimal MQL milling parameters found are cutting speed: 47 m/min, table feed rate: 0.05 mm/tooth and depth of cut: 0.20 mm. The results revealed improvement in the surface finish (Ra) by 17.33% and reduction in tool flank wear (VB) by 11.48 % under NMQL face milling of Inconel 625 with 1% weight concentration of MWCNT in base oil compared to pure MQL machining conditions.

Tool Performance

One of the most significant factors in machining process or metal cutting is the cutting tool performance. The rapid wear rate of cutting tools and cutting forces expend due to high cutting temperature is a critical problem to be solved in high-speed machining process, milling. Near-dry machining such as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is regarded as one of the solutions to solve this problem. However, the function of MQL in milling process is still uncertain so far which prevents MQL from widely being utilized in this specific machining process. In this paper, the mechanism of cutting tool performance such as tool wear and cutting forces in MQL assisted milling is investigated more comprehensively and the results are compared in three different cutting conditions which is dry cutting, wet cutting (flooding) and MQL. The MQL applicator is constructed from a household grade low-cost 3D printing technique. The chips surface of chips formation in each cutting condition is also observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) machine. It is found out that wet cutting (flooding) is the best cutting performance compare to MQL and dry cutting. However, it can also be said that wet cutting and MQL produced almost the same value of tool wear and cutting forces as there is negligible differences in average tool wear and cutting forces between them based on the experiment conducted.

This article presents a sensitivity analysis of residual stress based on the verified residual stress prediction model. The machining-induced residual stress is developed as a function of cutting parameters, tool geometry, material properties, and lubrication conditions. Based on the residual stress predictive model, the main effects of the cutting force, cutting temperature, and residual stress are quantitatively analyzed through the cosine amplitude method. The parametric study is carried out to investigate the effects of minimum quantity lubrication parameters, cutting parameters, and tool geometry on the cutting performances. Results manifest that the cutting force and residual stress are more sensitive to the heat transfer coefficient and the depth of cut, while the cutting temperature is more sensitive to the cutting speed. Large maximum compressive residual stress is obtained under a lower flow rate of minimum quantity lubrication, small depth of cut, and the proper air–oil mixture ratio. This research can support the controlling and optimization of residual stress in industrial engineering by strategically adjusting the application parameters of minimum quantity lubrication.

Abstract Turning operation is one of the most commonly used machining processes. However, turning of high strength materials involves high heat generation which, in turn, results in undesirable characteristics such as increased tool wear, irregular chip formation, minor variations in physical properties etc. In order to overcome these, synthetic coolants are used and supplied in excess quantities (flood type). The handling and disposal of excess coolants are tedious and relatively expensive. In this proposed work, Water Soluble Cutting Oil suspended with nanoparticles (Graphene) is used in comparatively less quantities using Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method to improve the quality of machining. The testing was done on Turning operation of Monel K500 considering the various parameters such as the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut for obtaining a surface roughness of 0.462μm and cutting tool temperature of 55°C for MQL-GO (Graphene oxide) process.

Abstract. Kinetic energy of a machining process is converted into heat energy. The generated heat at cutting tool and work piece interface has substantial impact on cutting tool life and quality of the work piece. On the other hand, development of advanced cutting tool materials, coatings and designs, along with a variety of strategies for lubrication, cooling and chip removal, make it possible to achieve the same or better surface quality with dry or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining than traditional wet machining. In addition, dry and MQL machining is more economical and environment friendly. In this work, 20 no. of experiments were carried out under dry machining conditions with different combinations of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut and corresponding cutting temperature and surface roughness are measured. The no. of experiments is determined through Design of Experiments (DOE). Nonlinear regression methodology is used to model the process using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Multi-objective optimization is carried using Genetic Algorithm which ensures high productivity with good product quality.

The cutting performance (tool wear, surface roughness of machined work-piece and chip formation)of wet, dry and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining when milling of high strength steel (PCrNi2Mo) using cemented carbide tools under different (cutting speed, depth of cut, feed rate) was analyzed. The experimental results showed that as the cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate changed, MQL conditions provided the lowest flank wear and the highest surface quality. Chip formation produced under MQL conditions become more favorable in terms of color and shape. The results obtained prove the potential of using MQL technique in the milling process of high strength steel (PCrNi2Mo) for high cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut.

Recently all environmental worries are calling for reducing the usage of fluids in machining operations. One of the promising solutions that appeared lately is minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). This research aimed to develop an eco-friendly cooling system for a lathe machine and assess its performance. After considering the customer needs, the needs were translated into engineering specifications in the conceptual design phase, and then the quality function deployment was developed. Three concepts were generated and evaluated considering the selection criteria, and a final concept was selected using the decision matrix method. Following this, a detailed design and fabrication of the subsystems such as the oil tank and a structure accommodate all the components. The developed system was tested on six different workpiece samples to compare the MQL system with the conventional one. In general, the MQL system resulted in lower surface roughness values as well as lower tool wear.

Sebuah alat kendali semprotan cutting fluid pada minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) telah berhasil dibuat. Alat yang bekerja dengan sistem Arduino ini dihubungkan dengan sensor suhu yang diletakkan pada sisi pahat dan berhasil mengendalikan kapan cutting fluid harus disemprotkan dan kapan harus berhenti. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari efek penggunaan alat kendali ini terhadap kekasaran permukaan pada pembubutan baja AISI 4340. Metode Taguchi L9 digunakan untuk menyusun desain eksperimen dengan variasi parameter: metode pemberian cutting fluid, kedalaman permukaan dan komposisi campuran cutting fluid. Pahat sisipan berbahan karbida digunakan untuk memesin lurus dan roughness tester digunakan untuk mengukur kekesaran permukaan hasil pembubutan. Analisis S/N ratio dilanjutkan dengan analisis varians (ANAVA) membuktikan bahwa metode MQL yang dilengkapi sistem kendali ini mampu menghasilkan rata-rata permukaan paling halus dibandingkan metode lain. Nilai kekasaran optimum sebesar 1,941 µm diperoleh pada kombinasi permesinan dengan MQL dengan sistem kendali, depth of cut 2,0 mm, dan komposisi air terhadap minyak pada cutting fluid 7:3Effect of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) Method on Surface RoughnessA device to control the spraying of cutting fluid in minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has been initiated. This device was programmed with Ardunio and connected to a thermal sensor which is stick on the flank face of the tool. It succeeded in controlling when the cutting fluid should be sprayed and stopped. This research aim is to investigate the effect of using this device to the machined surface roughness. The Taguchi method L9 was used for designing the experiments. Variations were made on the method of applying cutting flood, depth of cut, and cutting fluid composition. Carbide insert tools were used and roughness tester was employed to measure the machined surface roughness. Analysis of S/N ratio following with analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the controlled MQL cooling application results in the minimum surface roughness. The optimum surface roughness would be achieved when using MQL with temperature controller, depth of cut of 2.0 mm, and composition between water and oil for cutting fluid of 7:3.
