Özet

In recent years, developments in the defense, aerospace, and medical industries have significantly increased the expectations regarding material performances. In particular, the demand for materials that can withstand very high and/or very low temperatures and harsh mechanical/chemical conditions has increased. The superior qualities of superalloys can adequately meet this demand. However, the difficulties encountered in the machining of these alloys cause some burdens both ecologically and economically due to the use of cutting fluid. Therefore, the use of cost-friendly and sustainable cutting fluids in the production industry has a vital role, both in terms of machining performance and the environment. From this perspective, this paper focuses on the effects of various cutting environments, i.e., Dry, MQL, LN2, N-2, CO2, Vortex, LN2 + MQL, N-2 + MQL, CO2 + MQL, and Vortex +MQL on the machining performance of Ni-based C4 alloy. Additionally, it was aimed to reveal the effect of cooling/lubrication methods on sustainability by performing a sustainability analysis. Firstly, surface roughness, power consumption, tool wear and mechanisms, and cutting temperature were considered as performance characteristics. When examined in terms of machinability, Vortex + MQL gave the best result in terms of surface roughness and power consumption, while LN2 gave the best result in terms of cutting temperature. Then, a comprehensive sustainability analysis was carried out. As a result, the CESMO follows the order of Dry > MQL > LN2 > LN(2 +)MQL > CO2 > CO2 + MQL > N-2 > N-2 + MQL > Vortex > Vortex + MQL. While employing Vortex + MQL cutting condition, the CESMO decreased by about 11.37% as compared to Dry cutting condition. While using a combination of different sustainable lubrications or coolants, the overall carbon emissions decreased in the range of about 15-25% approximately as compared to the employment of the individual cutting conditions (i.e., coolant/lubricants).
