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.

This paper presents two basic experimental studies of a micro-drilling process with nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in terms of machining and environmental characteristics. By using a miniaturized desktop machine tool system, a series of micro drilling experiments were conducted in the cases of dry, compressed air and nanofluid MQL. The experimental results imply that nanofluid MQL significantly reduces the adhesion of chips when compared with the cases of dry and compressed air micro-drilling. As a result, it is observed that the magnitudes of average drilling torque and thrust force are decreased and the tool life of micro drills is extended in the case of nanofluid MQL micro-drilling process. In addition, the empirical study on environmental characteristics of MQL micro-drilling process is conducted by measuring MQL oil mist with the oil sampling method. The results show that remaining MQL oil mist is tiny enough not to have a detrimental effect on human health.

End Milling Process

This paper investigates the characteristics of micro end-milling process of titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V) using nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). A series of micro end-milling experiments are conducted in the meso-scale machine tool system, and milling forces, burr formations, surface roughness, and tool wear are observed and analyzed according to varying feed per tooth and lubrication conditions. The experimental results show that MQL and nanofluid MQL with nanodiamond particles can be effective to reduce milling forces, burrs and surface roughness during micro end-milling of titanium alloy. In particular, it is demonstrated that smaller size of nanodiamond particles — 35 nm — can be more effective to decrease burrs and surface roughness in the case of nanofluid MQL micro end-milling.
