Performance evaluation of a sustainable metal working fluid applied to machine Inconel 718 and AISI 304 with minimum quantity lubrication

Machining is a prominent manufacturing method used in automobile, aerospace, and marine industries. Most of the materials that are frequently consumed such industries difficult to machine via conventional techniques. Difficult-to-cut require advanced processing approaches, better cooling lubrication conditions. Thus, tend use petroleum-oil-based metal working fluids (POMWF) because their desirable characteristics when applied difficult-to-cut materials. However, POMWFs adversely affect human health environment throughout life cycle. Recently, several scientists have demonstrated vegetable oils tribological properties which make media for machining operations. Hence, authors formulated white-coconut-oil-based water-soluble MWF (COMWF) as an alternative toxic hazardous POMWFs. The performance novel was evaluated by applying minimum quantity approach Inconel 718 AISI 304. experiments were conducted under controlled cutting conditions investigate work-tool interface (WTI) temperature, forces benchmark proposed commercially available synthetic ester based (SEMWF). newly developed green enabled WTI temperatures more than those obtained using SEMWF. A thermophysical model also created software simulate temperature visualize chip formation COMWF effectively selected cut (i.e., 304); furthermore, its potential replacement ensure industrial sustainability demonstrated.
