Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly machining has led to rapid adoption of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). The present study investigates the application of MQL to minimize surface roughness in the turning of Ti-6Al-4V with coated Tungsten carbide insert using a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach. Experiments were performed at various feed rates, depth of cut and MQL pressure as the input variables. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that MQL pressure (p) were the most significant factors influence to reduce surface roughness. The result reveals that the best surface roughness was achieved at a lower feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, DOC of 0.18 mm and MQL pressure of 3 bar, giving Ry = 2.098 µm and Rz = 8.541 µm. The research reveals that MQL not only guarantees maintainable machining of Ti-6Al-4V but also minimizes lubricant consumption and environmental effects.
