The Use of Graphite Micropowder in the Finish Turning of the Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Under Minimum Quantity Lubrication Conditions

The use of the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method during machining leads to the reduced consumption of cooling and lubricating liquids, thus contributing to sustainable machining. To improve the properties of liquids used under MQL conditions, they are enriched with various types of micro- and nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of graphite micropowder (GMP) on tool life, cutting force components, and selected surface roughness parameters during the finish turning of the Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy under MQL conditions. The addition of 0.6 wt% of GMP to the base liquid in machining under MQL conditions leads to an extension of tool life by 7% and 96% compared to machining with a liquid without the addition of GMP and dry machining, respectively. Mathematical models of the cutting force components and surface roughness parameters were developed, taking into account the change in cutting speed and feed. It was found that the use of a liquid with the addition of GMP extends the range of cutting parameters for which the shape of chips obtained is acceptable in terms of work safety. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a cutting fluid composed of bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and diester, enriched with graphite micropowder, which has not been extensively investigated for machining titanium alloys under MQL conditions.
