Abstract

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is replacing conventional cast iron (CI), especially in the automotive industries for the manufacture of a high-performance and light-weight diesel engine due to its outstanding mechanical properties as compared to the conventional CI. Nevertheless, the pace of replacement is still slow because of the low machining performance encountered by the industries during high-speed machining of CGI. Thus, in this study, the effect of various cooling-lubrication strategies in high-speed machining of CGI using uncoated carbide inserts was investigated. Results showed that the combination of indirect cryogenic cooling and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) improves the tool life by 26% compared to conventional flood coolant strategy. The result has been clarified by monitoring the cutting force and the sound pressure for each cooling/lubrication strategy.
