Machining response of Ti64 alloy under Nanofluid Minimum Quantity Lubrication (NFMQL)

Rapid wear progression of cutting insert associated with attainment excessive tool-tip temperature are indispensable causes which limit operational domain velocity during dry turning Ti64 alloy. Again, to counteract demerits flood cooling, jet air-oil mist (MQL technology) is employed in water-based coolants or vegetable oils highly preferable. On the other hand, inclusion nano-additives within base fluid, and supply same through MQL system (NFMQL) also a trendy area research. Application potential NFMQL understood over conventional terms better lubrication effects due improved thermo-physical, tribological properties resultant fluid. In this context, present study aims assess performance containing biodegradable Jatropha oil (carried by pressurized air) when applied longitudinal work addition, advantages 2D layered-structured graphene nanoplatelets (when dispersed into ), purview machining on difficult-to-cut alloy under NFMQL, studied work. Experimental data compared basis different conditions (dry, MQL, NFMQL). Morphology tool detail. The extends towards studying chip morphology machined surface finish end product, as influenced variation conditions.
