In this study, machinability studies of Titanium (Ti) and its alloys construction, under the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) system has been investigated. Titanium and its alloys, which are made of lightweight metals, are extremely difficult and costly to process. The main purpose of this article is to contribute to the scientific work in this area and assist in the selection of the correct cutting tool, machining operation and cutting parameters during processing of Ti and its alloys. Another aim of the study is to examine the effects of the use of the MQL system in the automotive, aerospace, and space industries on the machinability of Ti and its alloys, which are strategic priorities. In order to reach all these objectives, studies on Ti and their alloys processed with MQL system in the world have been examined and their results have been given.

“…Therefore, the use of the MQL technique can be regarded as an attractive alternative solution, in which a very small amount of cutting fluid along with compressed air is directly applied to the machining area through the set of nozzles by drop-by-drop and mist [7,8]. The MQL technique with nano-particles (nano-fluids) also contributes to greener or cleaner manufacturing, as the harmful effects of other MWFs are completely eliminated from the machining process [5].…”

Abstract:The prediction and optimization of surface roughness values remain a critical concern in nano-fluids based minimum quantity lubrication (NFMQL) turning of titanium (grade-2) alloys. Here, we discuss an application of response surface methodology with Box-Cox transformation to determine the optimal cutting parameters for three surface roughness values, i.e., R a , R q , and R z , in turning of titanium alloy under the NFMQL condition. The surface roughness prediction model has been established based on the selected input parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, approach angle, and different nano-fluids used. Then the multiple regression technique is used to find the relationship between the given responses and input parameter. Further, the experimental data were optimized through the desirability function approach. The findings from the current investigation showed that feed rate is the most effective parameter followed by cutting speed, different nano-fluids, and approach angle on R a and R q values, whereas cutting speed is more effective in the case of R z under NFMQL conditions. Moreover, the predicted results are comparatively near to the experimental values and hence, the established models of RSM using Box-Cox transformation can be used for prediction satisfactorily.

“…Islam et al (2013) explored that the enhancement of machinability of titanium along with its alloys depends on a vast degree on the viability of the efficacy of cooling and lubrication method. Sharma et al (2015) found that heat developed amid machining is not uprooted and is one of the main causes of the reduction in tool life and surface finish. MQL shows important results in reducing the machining cost, cutting fluid quantity as well as surface roughness produced after machining.…”
