Effects of cutting speed on tool nose wear with ACE-MQL aerosol at optimum-temperature

Abstract

Keywords AbstractCutting luid Machining MQL Tool steels Received: 8 January 2018Accepted: 31 January 2018 Published: 13 February 2018This study is focused on evaluating newly developed chilled-emulsion Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) method on machining hard-to-cut metals. Previous research work revealed that, aerosol at 15 0 C provides the optimal tool life and generates the least surface roughness when machining AISI P20 and D2 tool steels at a given cutting speed. In that context, the in luence of varying cutting speeds with MQL aerosol at 15 0 C is further studied in this paper. Three cutting speeds were used as per the tool manufacturer's recommendations. For the aforementioned cutting conditions, tool nose wear were measured and topologies of worn cutting edges were observed and compared. The experimental results revealed that tool wear rate and other forms of damages such as chipping and plastic deformation for different work material have contrasting responses. This indicates that MQL aerosol performance is notably sensitive to work material properties and its bene its as a cutting luid should be further investigated over wider range of materials.

“…MCDA methods provide stepping-stones and technique for inding a compromise solution. They are not automatable methods that lead to the same solution for every decision maker, but they incorporate preference information that being provided by decision maker, which leads to the compromise solution [12,13,14]. There are several approaches in applying MCDA and its application is even wider as technology evolves to allow complex problems to be addressed with relative ease.…”
