| Abstract |
Machining is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes and conventional cutting fluids have been used in large quantity to tackle the effects of heat generated during metal cutting. Looking at the effects of the cutting fluids on the environment as well as an increase in total production cost, the performance of CaF2 solid lubricant assisted minimum quantity lubrication in turning is studied. The performance of solid lubricant is judged by measuring surface roughness, chip-tool interface temperature and tool flank wear in different machining conditions. The effect of different concentration of solid lubricant is analyzed under various cutting conditions. A comparison of the results is provided with those obtained in dry, wet and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) machining. The results indicate the improvement in process performance with the application of solid lubricant assisted lubrication. The use of the solid lubricant with MQL can be considered as a low-cost environment-friendly alternative. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. |
