Abstract
In the present competitive environment of
Machining and Manufacturing processes particularly in
the mass production firms the optimistic objective is to
attain the best in industry with superior quality, reliable
products which exhibits better dimensional accuracy and
required productivity. In many operations flooding of
coolant is applied for mass production, which will receives
the help in reducing heat from cutter and work piece. The
usage of coolant generally causes life of the tools and it also
maintains work piece surface properties without damage.
In the present work the attention has focused on minimum
quantity lubrication required during turning operations.
The purpose of this experimentation is to set a benchmark
for selecting desired lubrication conditions to varying feed
rate at a constant spindle speed. This work also highlights
the impact of various lubrication conditions on the surface
finishing. Based upon the experimental results obtained
for a given depth of cut and at a specified speed of 570
rpm the variation of surface roughness with feed has been
documented.
Keywords: Feed rate [f], Minimum Quantity Lubrication [MQL], Spindle speed [rpm], Surface roughness [Ra].
