Experimental Investigation of Nano Fluid in Machining Process to Enhance the Performance
The surface roughness is paying a very dominant role in manufacturing industries. It is one of the parameters that cannot be avoided in machining process. Investigation was done on turning titanium alloy grade 2 with uncoated carbide insert in a CNC lathe. During machining on titanium, the high cutting temperature found, because of that friction in tool causes, for that purpose we are carry more cutting fluid, cutting tool & actual machining parameter. The present work shows the concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) & Graphene nano-particles are in used. The Nano fluid is prepared by using various ratios of nano-particles (MWCNT & Graphene), rice bran oil and blended oil as a base fluid. sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) Surfactant added in cutting-fluid to provide better lubricant properties. The statistical planning of the experiment is done by using Taguchi method. The process parameters considered in the study are cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and surface roughness is considered as a response parameter.
