The study includes delivering Graphene and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes nanopowders homogeneously dispersed in vegetable oil to the cutting area with the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method. Experiments at different cutting speeds and feed rates were repeated in four different cutting environments. Compared to dry turning, the cutting zone temperature of the cutting fluid delivered to the cutting zone by MQL methods decreased. In addition, thanks to the nanopowders, it formed an oil film by better penetrating the cutting tool-chip interface and reducing the cutting tool's wear. With the reduced cutting tool wear, the cutting tool could maintain its form for a longer period of time, so better quality surfaces were obtained on the workpiece surface. As a result of the study, it was found that cutting zone temperature improved by 30%, tool wear by 51.8% and surface roughness by 43.9%.en10.3390/lubricants11040159info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNi-base superalloynano MQLgraphenesurface topographycutting zone temperaturecutting tool wearCutting FluidOilArticle1142-s2.0-85156097966WOS:000977667500001Q2Q2
