Ti6Al4V grinding using different lubrication modes for minimizing energy consumption

To create high-performance cutting fluids, it has been suggested to make use of nanofluids, provided that these fluids are devoid of potentially harmful contaminants and that they possess adequate lubricating and cooling properties. Both the production of a graphene nanoplatelet-based nanofluid from palm oil and the testing of this nanofluid were carried out with the assistance of minimum quantity lubrication. Significant improvements have been made to both the anti-wear capabilities of the Ti6Al4V/ZrO2 tribo-anti-friction pair as well as the nanofluid/minimum quantity lubrication mode, which is founded on palm oil. Specific cutting energy was found to be lowered by 93.49% when utilizing a nanofluid composed of graphene nanoplatelets at a weight concentration of 0.1% compared to dry circumstances, and by 90.889% when using commercially available high-performance minimum quantity lubrication. To achieve these outcomes, a graphene nanoplatelet-based nanofluid with a concentration of only 0.1% by weight was used. Grinding cutting forces were reduced by using a nanofluid containing 0.1% by weight of graphene nanoplatelets.
