Effects of reinforced nanofluid with nanoparticles on cutting tool wear morphology

Abstract

Superalloys are grouped as hard-to-cut materials with relatively poor machinability. Tool wear is considered one of the main machinabiliry attributes in machining superalloys. Although numerous works have been reported on factors governing tool life in machining superalloys, no study was found on the effect of nanoparticles stability on nanofluid performance and consequently resulted tool wear morphologies. In the present work, the nanoparticles were reinforced by means of improving the stability of the base fluid. To that accomplished, the surface active agent (surfactant) was added to the base cutting fluid as a reinforcing element. The effects of new lubricant on the tool wear morphology of A286 works parts were assessed.

Keywords

nanofluid / surface active agent (surfactant) / nanoparticles dispersion / built-up edge
