An Initial Study of the Effect of Minimum Quantity Lubricant of SiO₂ Nanoparticle with PEG on Surface Roughness during Milling of Mild Steel

Abstract:

This paper study the effect of minimum quantity lubricant of SiO₂ nanoparticle with surfactant, PEG on surface roughness during machining of mild steel. The application of conventional cutting fluid leads to techno-environmental issue such as environmental pollution. Nanolubricant consists of suspended nanoparticles in based fluid. Nanolubricant with surfactant creates stability of the particles in the base fluid. The results indicate the application of minimum quantity lubricant of nanolubricant with surfactant during machining process lead to minimum usage of cutting fluid and better surface roughness.
