Abstract

Hard machining plays a vital role in traditional machining for high productivity and for complex jobs. In this type of machining cutting, fluid has major factor property of cutting fluid to minimize the friction and to reduce the temperature at machining area. In the traditional approach, most of the time industries using mineral oils for lubrication or as cutting fluid in machining but a due large amount of using of mineral oils a large amount of oxidation happens which is toxic and harmful to workers. To overcome these effects experiment is done by using vegetable oil with the addition of nanoparticles which enhanced the properties of cutting fluid. The experiment is done on Mild Steel with working pair of Al2O3 and MoS2 nanoparticles in palm oil. Output is taken from this experiment in parameters like cutting forces, surface temperature, tool temperature, and surface roughness. This method gives better results than dry machining.
