EFFECTS OF HYBRID NANO CUTTING FLUID AND PROCESS PARAMETERS ON MATERIAL REMOVAL RATE AND SURFACE FINISH IN TURNING OF SS304 ALLOY
In the present competitive world, the manufacturing industry requires a good knowledge about proper utilization of resources. Accuracy and surface finish of components mainly depends on the machining process. In any metal cutting operation, the cutting fluid plays vital role by cooling and lubricating the cutting tool work piece interface. This work presents the effect of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) using hybridization of two different Nano fluids (Alumina and molybdenum) in turning of stainless steel 304.The hybrid Nano fluid was prepared by mixing alumina based Nano fluid with molybdenum disulphide (MOS2) Nano particles in a fixed volumetric proportion of 90:10.The turning performance of SS304 as compared to completely dry and wet machining in terms of material removal rate and surface roughness. An attempt was made by using Vegetable cutting fluids mixed with 2% of Nano aluminium oxide particles constant in all trails and Molybdenum disulphide will taken in different Wt. (0,1,3) during turning of stainless steel 304 with varying process parameters: speed, feed and depth of cut. The machining performance of hybrid Nano cutting fluid is compared with that of alumina based Nano fluid in terms of material removal and surface finish. The use of this hybrid Nano cutting fluid reduction of cutting speed, feed force and surface roughness compared to alumina oxide mixed Nano fluid. The process parameters are optimized using Taguchi Design of Experiments. The best parameters are predicted and contribution of process parameters is analysed by using ANOVA analysis. Based on the results, it can be concluded that MRR is influenced predominantly by depth of cut and wt. of Nano cutting fluid and surface finish is influenced by weight% of Nano cutting fluid and cutting speed. 1.INTRODUCTION: A lathe is a machine tool which turns cylindrical material, touches a cutting tool to it, and removes the material from the work piece to get the required shape and size. The lathe is one of the machine tools mostly used in material removal process. A material is firmly fixed to the chuck of a lathe and switched on and the chuck is rotated. And since the table which fixed the byte can be moved in the vertical direction and the right and left direction by operating some handles. It touches a byte's tip into the material by
