Abstract

This paper deals with experimental investigation on chip formation of machining of Monel K500 and its characteristics are studied. Two different nanocutting fluids namely nanoCuO and nanographenes are used for turning operation and the performance of the two cutting fluids is evaluated and the corresponding responses are recorded for the selection of better cutting fluid. This experiment is carried out with the help of SEM which picturizes the microstructure and surface distribution of the chips. The various output responses like chip thickness, chip compression ratio, and surface roughness are portrayed. The desirable effects on the properties of the machined material obtained by the variation of process parameters like cutting speed, cutting depth, and feed rate are analyzed. Results show that the thickness of chips (corresponding metal removal rate) is reduced considerably by 10–15% and the surface roughness is reduced by 20–30% when nanographene cutting fluids are used.
