Influence of SiO2, MgO, and Fe2O3 metallic nano cutting fluids of AA6061 in MQL environment

Abstract

Metallic nano-lubricant tri-hybridization was used to study the mechanical and process of machining analysis for metallic nano-lubricant utilizing a predetermined volumetric ratio of SiO2, MgO, and Fe2O3 metallic nanoparticles in cold-pressed coconut oil. For aluminium end milling, an alternative to dry and wet machining processes is needed because of the high productivity and surface quality requirements.As a result, the produced nanofluids were examined for rheological behaviour before being used in the milling of AA6061 to solve the problem. When compared to traditional approaches, the nanofluids performed admirably. Results show that trio-hybridized lubricant reduces cutting force, tool wear and surface roughness more effectively than monotype nano fluids. With nano fluids and low quantities of lubricant, the interaction between process variables can be studied using response surface methods. All three of these metrics were reduced while using hybrid cutting fluids and the results were within acceptable parameters.
