Analysis of Minimum Quantity Lubrication on Tool Wear for Incoloy-800 During Turning Operation

  Mohit Kumar,  Abhinav Shekhar

The growing demands for high productivity of machining need use of high cutting velocity and feed rate. Such machining inherently produces high cutting temperature, which not only reduces tool life but also impairs the product quality. Application of cutting fluids changes the performance of machining operations because of their lubrication, cooling, and chip flushing functions. But the conventional cutting fluids are not that effective in such high production machining. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) presents itself as a viable alternative for turning with respect to tool wear, heat dissipation, and machined surface quality. This study compares the mechanical performance of MQL to completely dry and flood lubrication for the turning of INCOLOY 800 based on experimental measurement of tool wear. Results indicates that the use of MQL leads to lower tool wear as compared to dry and flood lubrication.
