Abstract Cutting Fluid in Abundancy – CFA is a standard cooling technique used in machining due to the good relationship between quality and productivity. However, due to sustainability problems, economic, social, and environmental, several research types have been carried out worldwide about replacing or eliminating these inputs in the cutting process. In this work, three full factorial Design of Experiment - DoE were used to verify the performance and feasibility of replacing the Cutting Fluid in Abundance - CFA by Minimum Quantity Lubrification – MQL during the bearing of holes bored with Polly Cristaline Diamond – PCD tools in aluminum alloy. The input variables were cutting speed (𝑣𝑐), feed per knife (𝑓𝑧) and depth of cut (𝑑𝑜𝑐). While output variables were diameter and circularity deviation. For each machining atmosphere, dry, CFA, and MQL, a full factorial DoE (2 3 ) was performed with test and replicate. A total of 48 runs were performed. The main conclusion is that MQL showed similar CFA results, as proven by the mean hypothesis test. Based on the results of this work, it can be affirmed that MQL could replace the CFA technique.

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.

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.

LM 25 is an aluminum alloy that has numerous applications such as in the manufacturing of automobile components and food industries, and especially in marine and seawater applications, due to its exceptional properties. An exertion has been taken for attaining the best-suited group of machining variables to attain improved and better performance in machining such as increased rate of material removal, lessened roughness values at the machined surface and the total cost incurred during machining. Taguchi’s design methodology has been implemented for devising the experimental combinations and also for single aspects optimization of deemed performance measures. Grey’s theory concept has been adopted for attaining Grey Relational Coefficient values and the values have been further utilized for evolving Grey Relational Grade. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been employed to determine the significance of input process variables on the desired performance measures and interaction analysis also has been performed to determine the interaction effect between the selected process variables. As a result of optimization, the optimal combination of cutting parameters in turning LM25 aluminum alloy is cutting speed (A) = 150.79 m/min, feed (B) = 0.15 mm/min, depth of cut (C) = 0.9 mm and cutting fluid flow rate (D) = 75 mL/h. Compared with the initial parameter settings, surface roughness (Ra) decreases by 67.97%, material removal rate (MRR) increases by 88.12% and total machining cost (TMC) decreases by 93.86%. The proposed approach helps the manufacturer to attain better machining performance at an affordable cost.

The current research presents an overall performance-based analysis of Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride [[CH3(CH2)5]P(Cl)(CH2)13CH3] ionic fluid mixed with organic coconut oil (OCO) during turning of hardened D2 steel. The application of cutting fluid on the cutting interface was performed through Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) approach keeping an eye on the detrimental consequences of conventional flood cooling. PVD coated (TiN/TiCN/TiN) cermet tool was employed in the current experimental work. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array and TOPSIS are executed to analysis the influences, significance and optimum parameter settings for predefined process parameters. The prime objective of the current work is to analyze the influence of OCO based Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride ionic fluid on flank wear, surface roughness, material removal rate, and chip morphology. Better quality of finish (Ra = 0.2 to 1.82 µm) was found with 1% weight fraction but it is not sufficient to control the wear growth. Abrasion, chipping, groove wear, and catastrophic tool tip breakage are recognized as foremost tool failure mechanisms. The significance of responses have been studied with the help of probability plots, main effect plots, contour plots, and surface plots and the correlation between the input and output parameters have been analyzed using regression model. Feed rate and depth of cut are equally influenced (48.98%) the surface finish while cutting speed attributed the strongest influence (90.1%). The material removal rate is strongly prejudiced by cutting speed (69.39 %) followed by feed rate (28.94%) whereas chip reduction coefficient is strongly influenced through the depth of cut (63.4%) succeeded by feed (28.8%). TOPSIS significantly optimized the responses with 67.1 % gain in closeness coefficient.

This paper details experimental results when turning Ti-6Al-4V using water-miscible vegetable oil-based cutting fluid. The effects of coolant concentration and working conditions on tool flank wear and tool life were evaluated. L27 fractional factorial Taguchi array was employed. Tool wear (VBB) ranged between 28.8 and 110 µm. The study concluded that a combination of VOs based cutting fluid concentration (10%), low cutting speed (58 m/min), feed rate (0.1mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.75mm) is necessary to minimise VBB. Additionally, it is noted that tool wear was significantly affected by cutting speeds. ANOVA results showed that the cutting fluid concentration is statistically insignificant on tool flank wear. A notable increase in tool life (TL) was recorded when a lower cutting speed was used.

It is considered the complex of operations of the technological process for the heat treatment of steel 95X18-Sh, as a result of which the material of the samples increases the hardness to 59...61 HRC, and also improves the physical and mechanical properties. A full-scale full factorial experiment of face milling of samples was carried out using the method of mathematical planning. In the experiments, a high-precision machine and a carbide cutting tool were used. To calculate the values of the roughness function, the following are taken as independent variables: cutting speed, feed per tooth and depth of cut. In order to determine the coefficients of the linear equation, a central compositional orthogonal plan of the second order for three factors was used. A matrix of levels of variation of independent variable factors and a matrix of experiment planning were compiled. A regression analysis of the obtained experimental statistical data was carried out using the Microsoft Excel, Statistica and Wolfram Alpha programs. As a result of the calculations, a mathematical model of the roughness of the machined surface and optimal cutting conditions were determined.

In the grinding operation, a stiff layer of air gets formed around the periphery of the grinding wheel that causes deterioration of its performance. In the present work, in order to restrict the generation of stiff air layer around the periphery of the grinding wheel, a rubber tube is pasted on its surface to improve the grinding performance. An experimental investigation is carried out with low alloy steel as the work material. Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array is considered for the design of experiments while taking cutting speed, depth of cut, and type of the cutting fluid as the input grinding parameters. A comparative analysis using rubber tube-pasted grinding wheel and normal grinding wheel reveals that the developed wheel significantly improves the grinding performance with respect to surface roughness, amplitude of vibration and grinding ratio, as compared to the normal wheel. Moreover, grey relational analysis aided with fuzzy logic is applied in the experimental results to derive the optimal combination of process parameters for further enhancement of the grinding performance. Finally, analysis of variance results identify cutting speed as the most significant parameter while grinding with normal wheel, whereas depth of cut appears to be the most important parameter while machining with rubber tube-pasted grinding wheel.

Thin walled titanium alloys are mostly applied in the aerospace industry owing to their favorable characteristic such as high strength-to-weight ratio. Besides vibration, the friction at the cutting zone in milling of thin-walled Ti6Al4V will create inconsistencies in the cutting force and increase the surface roughness. Previous researchers reported the use of vegetable oils in machining metal as an effort towards green machining in reducing the undesirable cutting friction. Machining experiments were conducted under Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) using coconut oil as cutting fluid, which has better oxidative stability than other vegetable oil. Uncoated carbide tools were used in this milling experiment. The influence of cutting speed, feed and depth of cut on cutting force and surface roughness were modeled using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN). Experimental machining results indicated that ANN model prediction was more accurate compared to the RSM model. The maximum cutting force and surface roughness values recorded are 14.89 N, and 0.161 µm under machining conditions of 125 m/min cutting speed, 0.04 mm/tooth feed, 0.25 mm radial depth of cut (DOC) and 5 mm axial DOC.

Manufacturers in different sectors look for materials exhibiting good mechanical properties, high machinability, and superior surface integrity. The machinability of Mg alloys is one of the vital aspects which requires an exhaustive survey during their selection for different applications. The study examines the surface integrity of a fabricated AM alloy (Mg alloy with 7 wt%Al-0.9 wt%Mn) through dry turning. During the experiments, the input variables of turning viz. cutting speed( v), depth of cut (DOC), and feed( f) is altered and applied to the workpiece. The data obtained for the two response variables viz. surface roughness and microhardness accentuate the maximum influence of feed, followed by DOC and speed. For validation a two-stage methodology was adopted; In the first stage, the validation was done with the help of Analysis of variance (ANOVA); the results show the % contribution of feed, speed, and DOC on average roughness is 66.94%, 5.91%, and 27.23% and on microhardness is 47%, 8.3%, and 44.57%, respectively. Subsequently, in the second stage, the surface plots are drawn for both the response variables to ascertain the ANOVA outcomes; the shape of the plots corroborates the experimental and ANOVA results. The study results provide vital insights for parameter selection to get improved results on surface roughness and microhardness during machining of AM alloy.

Introduction. The machinability is typical criteria to be investigated and different authors suggested different parameters describing its quantification. Different parameters i. e. speed, feed, depth of cut, tool work-piece combination, machine types and its condition, cutting fluid, machinist expertise, etc. are contributing directly to the tool life. The selection of the tool for the machining impacts greatly on the economic viability of the machining in terms of energy usage and tooling costs. The method of investigation. The current research emphasis mainly on tool life investigation when machining the mild steel specimens ISRO 50, BIS 1732:1989 at constant cutting speed i.e. 200 m / min. In the industries the mild steel material is commonly used for various products manufacturing. Considering the high demands on productivity and surface finish, machining at 200 m / min is the preferred. The computerized numerical control machine (CNC DX-150) is used for the turning. The four corner insert (TNMG 120408) is used for different machining times i.e. 10, 15, 20 and 25 minutes respectively. The flank wear of the tool is measured with calibrated optical microscope. The temperature of the tool corner during machining is continuously measured for possible impact of temperature on bonding properties of the tool insert and impact on red hardness. Results and discussion. The plot of flank wear vs. machining time will give the value of tool life. The other quality output parameter, such as surface roughness, is measured after machining, indicating surface irregularities in root means square value. Efforts have been made to identify the relationship of tool life, machining time, the quantity of metal removed, surface roughness, and tool bit temperature.
