The present research addresses the machinability of hardened die steel (AISI D3, 61HRC) in hard turning using multilayer (TiCN/Al2O3/TiN) coated carbide tool under nanofluid based minimum quantity lubrication-cooling condition, where no previous data are available. Power consumption, flank wear, chip morphology and surface integrity (microhardness, residual stress, white layer formation, machined surface morphology, and surface roughness) are considered as technological performance characteristics to evaluate the machinability. Combined approach of central composite design - analysis of variance, response surface methodology and desirability function analysis have been employed respectively for experimental investigation, predictive modelling and multi-response optimization. With a motivational philosophy of “Go Green-Think Green-Act Green”, the work also deals with energy saving carbon footprint analysis and sustainability assessment to recognize the green manufacturing in the context of safer and cleaner production. under environmental-friendly nanofluid assisted minimum quantity lubrication condition. The quantitative analysis revealed that the cutting speed influenced the power consumption during hard machining (75.78%) and flank wear of coated carbide tool (45.67%); feed rate impacted the surface finish of the machined part (68.8%) significantly. Saw tooth shapes of chip produced due to cyclic cracking. Due to low percentage contribution of error (5.32% to Ra, 6.64% to VB, and 7.79% to Pc), a higher correlation coefficient (R2) was obtained with the quadratic regression model, which showed values of 0.9, 0.88 and 0.92 for surface roughness, flank wear, and power consumption, respectively. Optimization with the highest desirability (0.9173) resulted the optimum machining conditions under NFMQL at the cutting speed of 57 m/min, depth of cut 0.1 mm, feed of 0.07 mm/rev, and insert’s nose radius of 0.4 mm. As a result, under NFMQL tool life was improved by 30.8% and 22.6% in respect of flank wear and surface roughness respectively than when machining with MQL technique by adapting the optimum machining condition. Therefore, using hard nanoparticles-reinforced cutting fluid under minimum quantity lubrication condition in practical manufacturing becomes very promising to improve sustainability.

Machining of bio-medical Ti-6Al-4V ELI grade is categorized in difficult to cut metal alloys due to its lower thermal conductivity and highly reactive in nature at elevated temperature. However, to improve the machinability of this alloy, controlling the temperature during cutting action is a challenging task. On this context, current work introduced a novel cooling strategy named as pulsating minimum quantity lubrication technique to investigate the surface roughness, surface texture (surface topology, surface profile, amplitude distribution curve, Bearing area curve, and Power spectrum), tool-work temperature, and flank wear in high-speed CNC turning of Ti-6Al-4V ELI Alloy. Feed is the leading influencing term towards surface roughness, pulse time contributing the highest impact towards tool-work temperature while flank wear is largely influenced by cutting speed. Abrasion, notch wear, adhesion and diffusion mode of wear is found.

Engineering field nurtures a variety of superalloys and its wide applications due to the inherent properties of such material. The prime concern of working engineers is to explore reliability, quality, economy, and machinability analysis of these superalloys. In this work, sustainable machining of Monel 400superalloy using PVD multilayer coated carbide tool under dry turning was studied. Surface roughness (Ra, Rz, and Rq), power (P) and cutting force (Fc) were addressed as responses. The subsequent effect of cutting speed, feed and depth of cut on the responses was explored through response surface methodology (RSM), statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis. Details of tool wear was observed via scanning electron microscope (SEM) to know the cutting behavior at interface. Further, the reliability and economic analysis were performed to substantiate the feasibility of cutting insert. The investigation reveals that surface roughness was affected by feed and cutting speed. The increase in cutting speed uncovers lower cutting forces with improved surface finish during dry turning which further reduces the power requirement. The economic analysis shows unit production time and unit production cost based on a single insert PVD coated carbide tool under optimum value condition. The reliability analysis exposes the meantime to repair (MTTR) (5 min), mean time between failure (MTBF) (28 min), availability (84.8%), failure rate (0.03), and reliability (80.5%) for the production system.

Titanium alloys are widely utilized in aerospace thanks to their excellent combination of high-specific strength, fracture, corrosion resistance characteristics, etc. However, titanium alloys are difficult-to-machine materials. Tool wear is thus of great importance to understand and quantitatively predict tool life. In this study, the wear of coated carbide tool in milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy was assessed by characterization of the worn tool cutting edge. Furthermore, a tool wear model for end milling cutter is established with considering the joint effect of cutting speed and feed rate for characterizing tool wear process and predicting tool wear. Based on the proposed tool wear model equivalent tool life is put forward to evaluate cutting tool life under different cutting conditions. The modelling process of tool wear is given and discussed according to the specific conditions. Experimental work and validation are performed for coated carbide tool milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

In this article, an attempt has been made to explore the potential performance of Al2O3 nanoparticle–based cutting fluid in hard milling of hardened 60Si2Mn steel (50-52 HRC) under different minimum quantity lubrication conditions. The comparison of hard milling under minimum quantity lubrication conditions is done between pure cutting fluids and nanofluids (in terms of surface roughness, cutting force, tool wear, and tool life). Hard milling under minimum quantity lubrication conditions with nanofluid Al2O3 of 0.5% volume has shown superior results. The improvement in tool life almost 177%–230% (depending on the type of nanofluid) and the reduction in surface roughness and cutting forces almost 35%–60% have been observed under minimum quantity lubrication with Al2O3 nanofluids due to better tribological behavior as well as cooling and lubricating effects. The most outstanding result is that the uncoated cemented carbide insert can be effectively used in machining high-hardness steels (>50 HRC) while maintaining long tool life and good surface integrity (Ra = 0.08–0.35 µm; Rz = 0.5–2.0 µm, equivalent to finish grinding) rather than using the costlier tools like coated carbide, ceramic, and (P)CBN. Therefore, using hard nanoparticle–reinforced cutting fluid under minimum quantity lubrication conditions in practical manufacturing becomes very promising.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate wear mechanisms of a multi-layered TiAlN/AlCrN-coated carbide tool during the milling of AISI 4340 steel under cryogenic machining. Design/methodology/approach The wear progression was measured using a toolmaker microscope and an optical microscope.

Findings A comprehensive analysis revealed that the main causes of tool wear mechanisms were abrasion and adhesion wear on the flank face. Originality/value The investigations presented in this paper may be used by the machining industry to prolong the tool life at higher cutting speed by the application of liquid nitrogen.
