Effect of Minimum Quantity Lubrication on Surface Roughness and Temperature in Milling of EN31 Steel for Die Making


Cite

Minimum Quantity Lubrication has enormous influence on the process parameters in machining. The main aim of the present work is to study the effects of spindle speed, depth of cut, tool material, amount of coolant dispensed and type of coolant on surface roughness and tool temperature in EN31 steel die making including Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) by introducing a self-designed MQL setup and to optimize the responses using fuzzy-logic and Particle Swarm Optimization technique.
