Measurement and analysis of machining induced tribological characteristics in dual jet minimum quantity lubrication assisted turning of duplex stainless steel 后印本

摘要: In this work, the sustainable machining approach is promoted by implementing the dry and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) cooling conditions in the turning of duplex stainless steel. Initially, the turning experiments were performed under dry as well as MQL conditions and then, the influence of different positions of MQL nozzles on tribological and machining performance of 2205 duplex steel was investigated. The cutting parameters were kept fixed and the performance is evaluated in terms of surface roughness, micro-hardness, energy consumption, tool wear, machined surface microstructure and chips morphology. The results demonstrated that the highest average surface roughness values were obtained under dry conditions, with a value of 2.20 μm while MQL (flank + rake directions) produces the lowest surface roughness value of 1.55 μm with an improvement of 30%. Moreover, dual-jet MQL gives the lowest energy consumption (229 kJ) and tool wear (0.15 mm) with 23.67% and 52.38% enhancement, respectively.
