Abstract
In this study, nanofluids prepared by incorporating silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles into sunflower oil were used as cutting fluids for turning AISI 304 stainless steel. Dynamic viscosities and thermal conductivities of nanofluids prepared at two different concentrations (1 % and 0.5 % by volume) were measured at four different temperature conditions. The experiments were carried out in two stages: main experiments and additional experiments. In the main experiments, four different cooling conditions (dry, PureMQL, 0.5 % NanoMQL, 1 % NanoMQL), four different cutting speeds (80, 120, 160, 200 m/min), and four different feed rates (0.10; 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 mm/rev) were used. In additional experiments, the effect of 4 different cooling methods on machining performance was investigated by keeping the maximum cutting speed (200 m/min) and feed rate (0.25 mm/rev) constant. In all experiments, workpiece surface roughness (Ra), temperature in the cutting zone (T), and flank wear on cutting tools (Vb) were determined as performance criteria. Also, additional experiments were repeated 45 times, and wear was measured every ten experiments to get a clearer picture of the tool wear process. At the end of the study, it was determined that the most effective parameter on surface roughness was feed rate (76 %), while the temperature in the cutting zone and tool wear were mainly affected by the cooling method (80 % and 50.5 %, respectively). The best machining performance was observed in the 0.5 % nanoMQL method.
