Feasibility Study of Adopting Minimal Quantities of Lubrication for End Milling Aluminium

摘要:  Abstract—End milling is a very common metal cutting process used for the machining of most types metal. The inherently intermittent causing tool tip edge to constantly fluctuate between various levels temperatures, specifically from cold 300 o C when Al alloy. During dry end temperatures need remain within design specifications tip. Even working with alloy subjected thermal cyclic stresses. Conventional wisdom states that it essential use flood cooling during milling, as increases effect shock and build up edge. - unlike other materials needs fluid avoid smearing insert edges improve surface finish. Modern companies face challenges environmental issues affect manufacturing costs machined parts. New techniques be developed competitive in future. research presented this paper represents experimentation involved determining suitable alternative using copious amounts Previous experimental evaluation Minimal Quantities Lubrication (MQL) applied has proved inconclusive. reduce stresses generated machining. These factors have substantial impact on life, quality, power consumed. customary uses liquid coolant (2), being increase life workpiece Unfortunately, even recognition aforementioned benefits, more environmentally method sought, ecological health can contributed fluid. Liquid supports growth micro-organisms (3) such aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria fungi which are notable microbial group (4). Obviously
