Summary: | Stricter environmental regulations are making the use of an ample amount of conventional coolant impossible because of its negative impact on the environment. Consequently, the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has been regarded as an promising alternative to conventional fluid coolant applications. Despite several studies, there have been a few investigations about the influence of the MQL nozzle position, such as distance from tool-workpiece contact zone, elevation angles, the included angle between jet direction and feed direction. The current study presents experimental investigations on influences of the above parameters on performance in end milling. Tool wear and surface roughness are experimentally studied to compare the effects of different positions. The results show that the setting location of the nozzle is an important factor regarding the effective application of MQL oil mist. |
