Influences of Nano-Green Lubricants on the Performance of Grinding Machining Process

Due to their strong tool-work interaction, propensity for work hardening, excellent strength, and toughness, Inconel alloys are difficult to cut. Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is a viable solution for cutting heat resistant alloys, but environmentally friendly manufacturing is critical. It is advised to use the maximum table speed of 10 m/min, the maximum coolant flow rate of 700 ml/h, the maximum volume of nanoparticle mixing at 1.5 vol%, the minimum cut depth of 10 m, the minimum dressing depth of 8 m, and the minimum surface roughness of 2–2.5 m. The coolant flow velocity and nanoparticle mixing ratio have a big impact on how well alloy materials’ surfaces are finished. Thus, the best surface finish can be achieved during grinding by using a lubricant that is combined with nanoparticles. Future work will include finding the process parameter optimum values to reduce surface roughness.
