Miling of inconel 718 under different lubrication conditions
Milling of Inconel 718 is challenging because Inconel is a type of superalloy that is hard to machine because of its particular property of high thermal resistance. This means that it has low thermal conductivity. When milling is conducted without optimum lubrication conditions, heat generated will...

| Summary: | Milling of Inconel 718 is challenging because Inconel is a type of superalloy that is hard to machine because of its particular property of high thermal resistance. This means that it has low thermal conductivity. When milling is conducted without optimum lubrication conditions, heat generated will accumulate on the cutting tool hence resulting in severe wear. That is how flood lubrication conditions play a role in dissipating the heat generated. However, this method is detrimental to the environment from the toxicity of the lubricant. Hence this study proposes an optimum lubrication condition with consideration of environmental factors. This study made a comparison between the flood lubrication condition and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) from their milling results such as cutting tool wear and surface quality of Inconel 718. From the data obtained, it is found that the flood lubrication conditions have the lowest cutting tool wear and better surface quality of Inconel 718 than milling in MQL conditions. The experimental errors in this study have been discussed and future recommendations have been suggested to improve the study. |
