    Multi-Axial Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining of Inconel 718 Using Al2O3-CuO Hybrid Nanofluid MQL
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2024) Namlu, Ramazan Hakki; Lotfi, Bahram; Kilic, Sadik Engin
    Inconel 718 is a widely used superalloy in the aerospace industry, owing to its exceptional creep and corrosion resistance, as well as its ability to retain strength at elevated temperatures. However, its machinability presents challenges due to its low thermal conductivity and high work hardening rate during conventional machining, resulting in inadequate surface quality. To address this issue, a recent technique known as Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Machining (UVAM) has emerged. UVAM involves applying high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations to the cutting tool or workpiece. Additionally, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has been considered as an alternative cooling technique to enhance machining performance. Optimizing the performance of UVAM can be achieved by employing various vibration axes. Additionally, the effectiveness of MQL can be enhanced through the utilization of nanofluids. This study investigates the combined application of multi-axis UVAM and Al2O3-CuO added Hybrid Nanofluid MQL (HNMQL) during the milling of Inconel 718. The evaluation parameters include surface roughness, topography, burr formations, and cutting forces. The results demonstrate that the simultaneous use of multi-axis UVAM and HNMQL significantly improves the machining performance of Inconel 718. This combination leads to better surface quality and overall process efficiency, offering promising prospects for the aerospace industry and other applications involving difficult-to-cut materials.

    An Experimental Study on Ultrasonic-Assisted Drilling of CFRP Composites with Minimum Quantity Lubrication
    (MDPI, 2025) Namlu, Ramazan Hakki; Sagener, Mustafa Burak; Kilic, Zekai Murat; Colak, Oguz; Kilic, Sadik Engin
    The increasing use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in industries such as aerospace, due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to corrosion has led to a growing demand for more efficient machining processes. However, the multilayered structure of CFRP composites, composed of densely packed fibers, presents significant challenges during machining. Additionally, when cutting fluids are used to improve effective cooling and lubrication, the material tends to absorb the fluid, causing damage and leading to problem of weaking of composite structure. To address these issues, this study compares ultrasonic-assisted drilling (UAD) and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) techniques with conventional drilling (CD) and dry cutting to improve the performance of CFRP composite drilling. The results show that using UAD and MQL together reduced thrust force by up to 27%, improved surface roughness inside the holes by up to 31%, reduced improved hole diameter, cylindricity, roundness, and delamination.
