Abstract
Non-hazardous, toxic-free, allergic-free and less cost-orientated methods are expected by the industries and the industrial workers for the better working-environment. In this work, an effort is made to achieve this expectation by integrating the concept of surface texturing and lyophobic wettability for anti-friction and self-lubrication purpose. Turning experiments are conducted on Al 6061 T6 material using Non-Textured (NT) Poly-Crystalline Diamond (PCD) insert, Cross-Chevron Textured insert (CCT), dip and drop based lyophobic wettability solutions filled texture inserts (TDI and TDR) under dry conditions. Lyophobic wettability was formed using amino silane functionalisation on the insert surface. Cross-chevron textures are engineered on the insert's rake face using Nd: YAG laser texturing machine. The experimental results observed with the lesser main cutting force and thrust force for the dip based lyophobic wettability insert than the non-textured, cross-chevron textured and drop based lyophobic wettability inserts.
