Surface Roughness Analysis on the Vegetable Oil Based Cutting Fluid with Non-Ionic Surfactants in Turning of EN8 Steel

Mukesh Ganchi

Abstract


In the present work, properties of the non-ionic surfactants have been used to formulate vegetable oil-based cutting fluid (VBCF) palm oil for the emulsion as non-conventional lubricant. Tool temperature and surface finish are playing an important indicator of quality in manufacturing industries and thus they are regarded as the most important parameters to be considered. In this present work different machining parameters were taken and their effect on surface roughness has been analyzed on vegetable oil-based cutting fluid (VBCF) palm oil as non-conventional lubricant. Cutting parameter taken were spindle speed feed rate while the depth of cut was kept constant. EN8 steel was the workpiece material for the study. Further the analysis and optimization of surface roughness was also done using Taguchi method to find the contribution of different cutting parameters on surface roughness. The results indicate that the feed rate significantly effect in decreasing the surface roughness of EN8 steel specimen.
