Abstract

Industries demand a vast usage of superalloys in heat resistant and high temperature applications. These include nozzle of rocket fuel engines, throttle valve of turbojet engines, turbine blade discs of aerospace industries, rivets and fittings of chemical and production industries, biomedical applications in super strength resistive steels. These superalloys such as Inconel 718 finds its vast applications in all such industries. To machine such materials a lot of wear and tear occurs at the cutting tool. Hence, cutting fluid helps in reduction of tool wear and improving surface roughness. In this paper, two cutting fluids Koolkut 40 and Hicut 590 have been used in emulsified form during the machining of Inconel 718 with Ceramic cutting tool. Hicut 590 has been seen a better heat resistive cutting fluid in reducing the tool wear and thus improving the life of the tool.
