Experimental investigation of cutting temperature and surface roughness for different cutting fluids during turning of Duplex stainless steel-2205 under minimum quantity lubrication technique

Abstract

Duplex stainless steel (DSS)-2205 comes under hard to machine material owing to its inherent properties but more applications in severe working conditions hence, selection of turning process parameters and suitable cutting fluids of DSS-2205 is essential. In the present work, investigate the performance of Deionized water, neat cut oil, and emulsified fluid on cutting temperature and surface roughness during turning of duplex stainless steel-2205 under minimum quantity lubrication technique. Based on a face-centered composite design, 20 experiments were conducted with varying speed, feed, and depth of cut in three levels for three different fluids. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to identify significant parameters that affect the response. Numerical optimization was carried out under Desirability Function Analysis (DFA) for cutting temperature during deionized water cutting fluid for surface roughness during emulsified cutting fluid. Depth of cut is the significant factor for cutting temperature contribution is 74.83% during Deionized water as a fluid, and feed is the significant factor for surface roughness contribution is 93.57% during emulsified fluid. The optimum cutting parameters were determined for speed (50m/min), feed (0.051mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.4mm). Experimental results revealed that Deionized water gives better results for reduced the cutting temperature and emulsified fluid for surface roughness reduction.
