Nano MoS2 Application in Turning Process with Minimum Quantity Lubrication Technique (MQL)

Abstract

In this study, nano-sized MoS2 was mixed into coolant and was turned with GGG-70 spheroidal graphite cast iron. Surface roughness and tool wear were analyzed and effects of nano-MoS2 on machinability were investigated. Cutting tests were carried out at 350 m/min cutting speed, 0.2 mm/feed rate and 4 mm cutting depth. Surface roughness (Ra) values and cutting tool wear obtained under dry cutting, conventional cooling, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) and 3 different nano-MoS2 added MQL conditions were investigated. Highest average Ra value was obtained under dry turning conditions. Roughness value decreased at conventional cooling, MQL and nano MoS2 added MQL conditions. A 37% reduction in Ra was obtained with respect to dry processing conditions. The lowest Ra 7 bar pressure, 160 ml/min flow rate and MQL + 1.5% nano-MoS2 spray was measured at 0.99 µm.

Optimization of Rough Self-Propelled Rotary Turning Parameters in terms of Total Energy Consumption and Surface Roughness

“…The results revealed that the dry condition led to acceptable flank wear and roughness, while reductions in energy and machining time were obtained. Sertsoz and Kacal indicated that the SR of the MQL turning cast iron was decreased by 37.0%, as compared to the dry condition [19]. Kang et al explored the vibration amplitudes and frequencies on the SR using simulation [20].…”

Multi-Objective Optimization of Sustainable Steel AISI 1045 Turning Energy Parameters Under MQL Condition

“…There are concluded benefits of using nanoparticle. Influence of nanoparticle in MQL on surface roughness, in case of highest cutting speed was analyzed by Şafak and Kaçal [24]. In [25], Abbas et al used artificial neural network with Edgeworth-Pareto method for obtaining of optimal parameters in face milling.…”
