This study focuses on evaluating the influence of different proportions (5%, 10% and 15%) of extreme pressure (EP) additive in vegetable oil based cutting fluids (canola, coconut and sesame oils) during turning of AISI 1040 steel. The process parameters considered in this work are type of cutting fluid, proportion of EP additive, cutting speed and feed rate. The influence of these process parameters on performance characteristics viz. cutting force (Fc), cutting tool temperature (T), tool flank wear (Vb) and surface roughness (Ra) is investigated by signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) from the experimental data developed by using L27 orthogonal array. The results indicated that cutting fluid has significant influence on tool flank wear and surface roughness whereas, cutting speed has significant influence on cutting force and cutting tool temperature.

Abstract


This study focuses on evaluating the influence of different proportions (5%, 10% and 15%) of extreme pressure (EP) additive in vegetable oil based cutting fluids (canola, coconut and sesame oils) during turning of AISI 1040 steel. The process parameters considered in this work are type of cutting fluid, proportion of EP additive, cutting speed and feed rate. The influence of these process parameters on performance characteristics viz. cutting force (Fc), cutting tool temperature (T), tool flank wear (Vb) and surface roughness (Ra) is investigated by signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) from the experimental data developed by using L27 orthogonal array. The results indicated that cutting fluid has significant influence on tool flank wear and surface roughness whereas, cutting speed has significant influence on cutting force and cutting tool temperature.
