Abstract:Titanium aluminides are being explored as potential materials for the aeronautical sector. However, their application is limited by the high costs of processing and their difficulties in machining. This research evaluates the effectiveness of the minimum quantity lubrication technique (MQL) on the turning process of Ti48Al2Cr2Nb aluminide in terms of tool wear, tool life, cutting forces, surface integrity, and temperature. It was found that MQL conditions can improve the process efficiency, reducing the therma… Show more
