Abstract

This study evaluates the use of gingelly oil as an eco-friendly cutting fluid for the turning operation. Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of nose radius, and rake angle on tool wear, surface formation, and cutting force. In addition, different lubrication techniques, such as cutting fluids and bio-oils, were investigated to determine their potential for minimising friction, heat generation, and tool wear during machining. In comparison to dry cutting, and conventional petroleum-based lubricants, the results demonstrate that gingelly oil consistently produces smoother surface finishes, and reduces cutting forces. The relationships between cutting parameters, and surface finish were analysed using statistical modelling, with R-square and p-values used to quantify correlations and predictor significance. The findings highlight the viability of gingelly oil as a cutting fluid and the significance of optimising process parameters for increased machining efficiency.
