Polyol Esters

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.

Green cutting is one of the developing tends in the industry field. Water vapor can be introduced in metal cutting as coolant and lubricant due to its pollution-free, generating easily and unneeded disposal. Therefore, a special generating system is developed to produce suitable water vapor, and a simulation to the velocity of water vapor jet flow is presented. Then tool wear was investigated and a new capillary model is proposed, based on the experimental results. According to the boundary-layer theory, the kinetics equations of flow were solute. The velocity and flux of molecule are presented. In the capillary, the adsorption of tool-chip interface results in boundary lubricating film; the conical shape of capillary limits the depth of coolant and lubricant penetrating; and the negative press is the motility for coolant and lubricant penetrating. The study results show water vapor can decrease tool wear about 10% times and 20% comparing to cutting fluids and dry cutting, and water vapor could be a potential solution of green cutting.

Environmental and economic concerns on use of cutting fluids have led to use of minimum quantity cooling lubrication (MQCL) system, which uses minute quantity of cutting fluids, demanding a specialized fluid with improved properties. Investigation of any newly developed cutting fluid would be complete if it is evaluated with respect to its machinability, environmental and economic aspects. The present work investigates the viscosity, machinability characteristics, environmental effects, and economic aspects of a newly developed nanocutting fluid with varying concentrations of graphite nanoparticles applied at different flow rates to machining operation. It is found that the machinability improved with respect to conventional cutting fluid and this improvement increased with increase in concentration of nanoinclusions in the range 0.1–0.5 wt. % and also with increase in the flow rate. A regression model is developed for nanocutting fluids to estimate tool wear when used in the range 0.1–0.5 wt. % at flow rates 5 ml/min to 15 ml/min. The biodegradability is found to decrease with inclusion of nanoparticles due to the inorganic nature of selected nanoparticle. But its application as MQCL is ecofriendly as the nanocutting fluid is not disposed to the environment and graphite in it is neither toxic nor hazardous. Based on economic aspect, MQCL application with conventional cutting fluid and few cases of nanocutting fluids are found to be economic compared to flood lubrication. So a compromise has to be obtained between the economic and machinability aspects to choose an optimum cutting fluid.

Cutting fluids play a major role in machine operations, life of tools, workpiece quality and overall high productivity which are considered as potential input for minimal tool wear, minimal surface roughness and better machining finished product owing to the ability to prevent overheating of the workpiece and cutting tool. In this paper, the challenge of environmental biodegradability, tool wear and workpiece surface roughness prompt the need to evaluate and compare the performance of Jatropha oil based cutting fluid (JBCF) with mineral oil based cutting fluid (MBCF) during turning with AISI 304 Alloy steel which are presented. Test were conducted on the Physiochemical property, fatty acid composition (FAC), cutting fluids formulation of oil ratio to water ratio in proportion of 1:9, turning operation and response surface methodology (RSM) design of experiment were carried out and used respectively. Results from FAC indicated that jatropha seed oil (JSO) has an approximately 21.6% saturated fat with the main contributors being 14.2% palmitic acid. The physiochemical property results show pH value 8.36, Viscosity 0.52 mm2/s, resistant to corrosion, good stability and a milky colouration. The S/N ratio for main effect plot for JBCF and MBCF stand at 1250 CS, 1.15 FR and 0.65 DOC; and 500 CS, 1.15 FR and 0.65 respectively with R-sq = 85.14% and R-sq(adj) = 71.76% for JBCF Ra and R-sq = 71.24% and R-sq(adj) = 56.35% for JBCF Tw,  compared to R-sq = 84.44% R-sq(adj) = 70.43% is for MBCF Ra, and R-sq = 70.48% and  R-sq(adj)  = 55.92% for MBCF Tw. Conclusively, JBCF exhibit minimal surface roughness, minimal tool wear, minimal environmental biodegradability and overall better performance compare to MBCF which makes it more suitable for turning of AISI 304 Alloy steel and is in good agreement with previous work.

The study of cutting fluid performance in turning is of great importance because its optimization characteristics has associated benefits such as improved tool life and overall quality of machined components as well as reduction in power consumption during machining. However, there are recent concerns with the use of cutting fluids from the environmental and health standpoints. Since environmental legislation has become more rigorous, the option for “green machining” attracts the interest of several manufacturing companies. It is important to consider the cost of machining which is associated with tool wear, depending on the cutting environment. The use of vegetable oil may be an interesting alternative to minimize the health and environmental problems associated with cutting fluids without compromising machining performance. This paper presents a comparative study of mineral and vegetable cutting fluids in terms of tool wear after turning SAE 1050 steel grade with cemented carbide cutting tools. Constant depth of cut of 2mm and variable cutting speed (200 and 350 m/min) and feed rate (0.20 and 0.32 mm/rev) were employed. Test results suggest that is possible to achieve improvement in machinability of the material and increase tool life by using vegetable cutting fluid during machining. Tool life increased by about 85% when machining with vegetable-based fluids compared to mineral-based fluids. Analysis of the worn tools, however, revealed a more uniform wear on the worn flank face when machining with mineral-based fluids.

Tribology deals with friction, wear and lubricants. It plays an important role in mechanical field. It finds its major application in industrial and automotive sector, in which this thesis considered the tribology in metal removal industrial sector. In that application, the role of cutting fluid in lathe machining operations have been chosen. One of the most important challenging cases is to minimize the friction in machining of titanium alloys. While machining, the heat should be minimized as low as possible. This thesis deals with the study of cutting fluids in machining of titanium alloys. The problem occurs while using mineral oil as a cutting fluid in machining that it is non-biodegradable in nature and affects the environment while disposing it. This thesis aims to identify the alternate cutting fluids instead of mineral oil, which is to be effective cooling and non-toxic to environment. For that, Machining condition should be controllable by using some grammar rule without affecting the Productivity.

Wide Range

The use of cutting fluids in turning can change thermomechanical loading of cutting tools. Currently, manufacturers provide a wide range of cutting fluids, which have different combinations of lubricating and cooling properties. Depending on cutting conditions, this combination can reduce tool wear in different degrees, and, in some cases, to even increase it. Therefore, an effective choice of cutting fluids requires a considerable amount of experiments, which requires cost and time. To solve this problem in the software SIMULIA/Abaqus Explicit 6.10 was developed thermomechanical model of the turning process by cutting tools with PVD-coating, which allows simulating the effect of any combination of cooling and lubricating action. An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation method was used in the modeling. Under the lubricating and cooling action is understood the final result of interaction of cutting fluids with the cutting zone. Modeling of lubricating action of cutting fluid is performed by introducing into the model corresponding average coefficient of friction in the contact zone of cutting tool, worked material and cutting fluid. Modeling of cooling action of cutting fluids is implemented through the introduction of the heat transfer coefficient, calculated on the basis of cutting conditions and thermo-physical properties of cutting fluids. As an example, turning of austenitic stainless steel X10CrNiTi18 by carbide cutting insert with TiN-coating for a predetermined cutting condition was examined. A selection of cutting fluids of the proposed range, formulations of which have different combinations of cooling and lubricating properties ("Unizor-M", "Ferrobetol-M", "EkoEM-1", "STARCUT E9", "SAFECUT M120") was accomplished through the simulation model and the calculated data contact stresses. Experimental studies have confirmed the validity of this choice by comparing the rate of flank tool wear in the using different cutting fluids. The rate of wear was determined by surface micrographs of flank tool. An application of the recommended cutting fluid "SAFECUT M120" has reduced wear by 4 times as compared with the application of the "Ferrobetol-M", the use of which has shown the highest wear. The model developed can be used for selecting a predetermined range of cutting fluids, in determining the optimal combination of lubricating and cooling actions for establishing the required characteristics of cutting fluid or in developing new formulations of cutting fluids.

Abstract In order to improve the cutting performance in broaching, the lubrication and cleaning effects offered by water-based cutting fluids with green additives need to be studied from the viewpoint of green manufacturing. Therefore, water-based solutions with castor oil, surfactant (linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, LAS), and nanographite were prepared by ultrasonic agitation and sprayed into the zone of broaching via atomization. The performances of the cutting fluids, in terms of the viscosity, specific heat, wetting angle, and droplet size, were evaluated to discuss their effects on the broaching load. Among the fluids, the addition of LAS into oil-in-water (WO-S), where its cutting fluid with 10 wt.% castor oil and 1.5 wt.% surfactant, exhibited the lowest broaching force. With regard to the lubricating and cleaning mechanisms, WO-S has good wettability and permeability, and hence, can lubricate the cutting edge of the tool to decrease the cutting load, cool the cutting edge to keep it sturdy, and clean the surface of the cutting edge to keep it sharp. The results reveal that the simultaneous addition of castor oil and LAS had remarkable effects on the lubrication and cleaning, and resulted in a broaching load reduction of more than 10% compared to commercial cutting fluids. However, the addition of nanographite could not improve the lubrication owing to its agglomeration.

1045 Steel

The increasing technological advances obtained both in the development of new materials and of machine tools increased the demand for the machining processes and in addition, the use of increased cutting fluids. However, it’s necessary to have characteristics that don’t harm the environment and the operator. In machining processes, cutting fluids, when properly chosen and applied, may reflect benefits during the manufacturing process. This work evaluated the performance of a commercial cutting fluid by comparing it with vegetable oil extracted from carapa guianensis in the abnt 1045 steel turning process. The cutting speed (vc), tool feed (f) and depth (ap) and the influence of the use of both of them on the metal was verified with the following variables: chip analysis, surface finish, cutting temperature and tool wear. It was observed that with the use of andiroba oil, better chip was generated for the safety of the operator, higher cutting temperatures in the piece, higher tool wear and better surface finish with a difference of 23% compared to commercial cutting fluid. Thus, the fluid from andiroba based on the conventional application demonstrated a viable alternative in the turning process of abnt 1045 steel, because it’s biodegradable and reduces petroleum-based cutting fluids.
