    Investigations on Microstructural Changes in Machining of Inconel 100 Alloy Using Face Turning Experiments and 3d Finite Element Simulations
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Arisoy, Yigit M.; Guo, Changsheng; Kaftanoglu, Bilgin; Oezel, Tugrul; Ozel, Tugrul; Kaftanoʇlu, Bilgin
    Nickel-base IN100 alloy is a choice of material for components requiring high strength at elevated temperatures. Machining processes applied to these components affect the microstructure, grain size, and microhardness of the finished surface. This research investigates the effects of tool micro-geometry, coating, and cutting speed on the microstructural changes during machining. 3D customized finite element simulations have been performed to predict the average grain size by implementing modified temperature dependent flow softening based material and Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov crystallization models. Simulation predictions on the average grain sizes, phase fractions, and resultant microhardness are compared against experimental measurements revealing good agreements. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

    Enhancing Sustainable Machining of Inconel 718 Using Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and TiO2based Nanofluid Minimum Quantity Lubrication
    (Elsevier B.V., 2025) Namlu, Ramazan Hakkı; Kaftanoĝlu, Bılgın
    Inconel 718 is extensively utilized especially in the aerospace sector due to its outstanding resistance to creep and corrosion, along with its capability to maintain strength at high temperatures. However, its high work hardening rate and low thermal conductivity present significant challenges in machining processes, including the need for extensive use of coolants, shortened tool life, and the necessity for post-processing operations for adequate surface quality, all of which hinder sustainable manufacturing. To address these issues, an innovative cooling/lubrication method, Nanofluid Minimum Quantity Lubrication (NMQL), aims to enhance the sustainable machining of Inconel 718 by minimizing these problems. NMQL involves the aerosolized delivery of nanoparticle-enriched nanofluid oil with compressed air to the cutting zone. In this way, NMQL utilizes the nanoparticles' cooling and lubrication abilities, resulting in lower cutting forces, reduced surface roughness, and decreased tool wear compared to other cooling/lubrication conditions, thereby improving machining performance. This study compares the performance of NMQL in terms of cutting forces, surface roughness and topography, and subsurface microhardness, using Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) and TiO2nanoparticles, with Conventional Cutting Fluids (CCF), aiming to achieve more sustainable machining of Inconel 718. Also, a sustainability assessment was done using Pugh Matrix Approach in order to find the most sustainable cooling option. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
