Study Notes
Coolant Environment and Machining
- Tool inserts used in the experiments are ISO designation CNGA 120408 T01020 WG, with a positive rake angle of 15°, clearance angle of 7°, and nose radius of 0.8 mm.
- The tool holder used has ISO designation STG CL2020K16.
- Machining tests were performed on 6061 aluminum alloys with a high rigidity lathe, Kingsbury50 CNC, at speeds ranging from 50 to 400 m/min.
- Depth of cut and feed rate were fixed at 1.0 mm and 0.15 mm/rev, respectively.
Tool Wear
- During dry cutting, the adhesion of the work material to the tool was found to be highest, with material adhering to flank, rake, and clearance surfaces.
- Increased cutting speed from 250 to 400 m/min resulted in a significant increase in adhesion.
- Applying flooded coolant significantly reduced material adhesion compared to dry cutting.
- MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) machining had a level of material adhesion higher than flooded coolant but less compared to dry machining.
- The amount of material adhered during MQL was not significantly reduced when increasing the lubricant quantity from 50 ml/h to 100 ml/h.
- Tool wear was found to be lower under MQL conditions, but the amount of coolant determines material adhesion on the tool surface.
Cutting Forces
- Under dry cutting conditions, resultant cutting force was the highest due to material adhesion to the tool.
- Cutting forces were seen to increase as adhesion progressed on the tool.
- Flooded coolant resulted in the lowest resultant force due to reduced adhesion and friction.
- MQL conditions also reduced frictional forces, but further investigation on the coolant constituents is necessary to achieve even lower force levels comparable to flooded systems.
Machined Surface Quality
- Surface roughness (Ra) values were measured parallel to the feed direction.
- The application of coolant improved surface roughness at all cutting speeds.
- Higher cutting speeds (400 m/min) did not show a significant difference in surface roughness with different coolant quantities.
- MQL conditions have the potential to reduce surface roughness at higher speeds.
MQL Technology
- MQL with rapeseed oil showed a small lubricating effect in light loading conditions.
- MQL with water droplets presented better lubrication performance in the same conditions.
- MQL offers potential economic advantages in machining, as it can achieve results comparable to flooded lubrication conditions.
- Further research on tool geometry, coolant constituents, machine reliability, and other factors is necessary for wider adoption of MQL technology.
