Experimental Analysis of Minimum Quality Lubrication by the Use of ANOVA Technique
Authors
Abstract
In this experimental study, an attempt is made to obtain optimum cutting parameters for turning of
mild steel on the basis of surface roughness and surface temperature. Optimization of cutting parameters is very
important to obtain a good machining quality of surface and to inhibit the increase of temperature. Minimum
Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has been introduced to avoid excessive use of cutting fluid. The parameters
considered here are cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. Optimal cutting parameters for each performance
measure were obtained employing Taguchi experimental method. To study the performance characteristics in
turning operation Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed. It is found that cutting speed and feed has
significant effect on both surface roughness and temperature.
