Studies on Drilling AISI 316L Using Formulated Pongam Oil as Straight Cutting Fluid

Abstract:

In this paper, experiments are conducted on drilling AISI 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel material using minimum quantity lubrication technique under formulated environmental friendly Pongam oil as cutting fluid. Cutting torque, Thrust force and Surface roughness and Chip formation are studied for the evaluation. The experimental results show that, the Cutting torque is dropped by 36 % under modified Pongam oil as cutting oil, compared to mineral oil base cutting fluid. About 34 % drop in Thrust force and Surface roughness values are noticed under formulated Pongam oil. Further, spiral and continuous form chips are seen under vegetable oil mode of lubrication compared discontinues spiral form under mineral oil based cutting fluid.
