Machinability study of titanium alloy using cryogenic cooling.

Abstract

The challenge of modern machining industries, according to this study, is to attain high quality in terms of dimensional precision, surface finish, high production rate, and cost savings while reducing environmental effect. Several factors influence these objectives, one of which is the cooling lubricant. Many authors have studied machinability with coolant in machining using flood coolant, MQL, and cryogenic cooling, and it has been discovered that the kind of coolant, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut all effect surface finish, cutting forces, chip formation, and tool wear. Because there is very little research on water vapour as a coolant in the literature, it was chosen to investigate the machinability of titanium alloy with the introduction of this environmentally friendly coolant. Keywords – Flood coolant, Cryogenic cooling, and Environmental friendly coolant.
