Abstract

Cutting energy must be reduced in order to make machining processes more eco-friendly. More energy was expended for the same amount of material removed, hence a higher specific cutting energy (SCE) implies inefficient material removal. Usually, the type of coolants or lubricants affects the SCE, or the amount of energy needed to cut a given volume of material. Therefore, the present work deals with a study of SCE in the turning of Ti–3Al–2.5V alloy under green cooling strategies. In spite of this, the research effort is also focused on the mechanism of tool wear, surface roughness, and cutting temperature under hybrid cooling, i.e., minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and cryogenic. The tool wear rate, were explored with tool mapping analysis, and the results were compared with dry, MQL, and liquid nitrogen (LN2) conditions. The tool wear rate analysis claims that the dry condition causes more built up edge (BUE) formation. In addition, the hybrid cooling conditions are helpful in reducing the SCE while machining titanium alloys.
