Enhancing Machining Efficiency of Ti-6al Through Multi-Axial Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining and Hybrid Nanofluid Minimum Quantity Lubrication
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Namlu, Ramazan Hakki; Lotfi, Bahram; Kilic, S. Engin
Ti-6Al-4V offers a balance of good strength with lightweight properties. Yet, Ti-6Al-4V poses machining challenges, including low thermal conductivity, chemical adhesion to cutting tools, and chip removal difficulties. To improve machining efficiency, Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining (UVAM) has emerged as a promising approach. UVAM has demonstrated reduced tool wear, cutting forces, and improved surface quality compared to Conventional Machining (CM). Additionally, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) methods offer sustainable coolant alternatives, with recent research focusing on Nanofluid-MQL (NMQL) and Hybrid Nanofluid-MQL (HNMQL) for enhanced performance. Although there exists a body of literature showcasing the promising effects of UVAM and MQL methods individually, comprehensive investigations into the synergistic effects of these methodologies remain limited. This study addresses these critical research gaps by conducting a systematic examination of combined application of multi-axial UVAM and HNMQL. Specifically, it delves into the comparison of different vibration directions within UVAM, evaluates the effectiveness of UVAM when combined with cutting fluids incorporating Al2O3 and CuO nanoparticles in NMQLs and HNMQLs, and contrasts these novel approaches with conventional machining methods. The study unfolds in three distinct stages. The first stage examines the ultrasonic cutting mechanism and its combined application with the MQL technique. In the second stage, the study investigates the physical properties of the cutting fluids, including contact angle and surface tension. The final stage encompasses slot milling operations, where an array of parameters such as cutting forces, surface roughness, surface topography, surface texture, and the occurrence of burr formations are rigorously analyzed. The results demonstrate that the combination of multi-axial UVAM with HNMQL yields substantial advantages over traditional machining methods. Notably, it leads to a remarkable reduction in cutting forces (up to 37.6 %) and surface roughness (up to 37.4 %). Additionally, this combination engenders the production of highly homogeneous and uniform surface textures, characterized by minimal surface defects and a significantly diminished occurrence of burr formations. These findings underscore the potential of multi-axial UVAM combined with HNMQL as a promising approach in enhancing the machining of Ti-6Al-4V, thus offering a pathway to enhance the efficiency and precision of aerospace component manufacturing processes.

Machining Performance and Sustainability Analysis of Al₂o_{3< Hybrid Nanofluid Mql Application for Milling of Ti-6al}
(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Lotfi, Bahram; Namlu, Ramazan Hakki; Kilic, S. Engin
Machining of Ti-6Al-4V presents challenges due to its low thermal conductivity, and conventional cutting fluids (CCF) are inadequate in providing a productive and sustainable solution. This study aims to achieve more sustainable and productive machining of Ti-6Al-4V by utilizing Al2O3 and CuO-added Nanofluid Minimum Quantity Lubrication (NMQL) individually and in hybrid form with different concentrations. A comparison is made with pure-MQL, CCF and dry conditions. The study consists of three stages. In the first stage, the physical properties of the coolants, like contact angle and surface tension, are investigated. The second stage involves slot milling operations, and various outputs including cutting forces, surface roughness, surface topography, surface finish, and subsurface microhardness are analyzed. In the last stage, a sustainability analysis is conducted based on the Pugh Matrix Approach. The results indicate that Al2O3-NMQL exhibits lower contact angles and surface tensions compared to other conditions. Furthermore, HNMQL applications result in lower cutting forces (up to 46.5%), surface roughness (up to 61.2%), and microhardness (up to 6.6%), while yielding better surface finish and topography compared to CCF. The sustainability analysis demonstrates that HNMQL application is the most suitable option for achieving sustainable machining of Ti-6Al-4V.
