Effect of Nano Fluid in High Speed Machining of Metals: A Review

High speed machining is widely used in industry to obtain well surface finished products. It is important that to improve the surface finish of Ni based alloys because they are used in the aerospace industry. In machining lubricant plays very important role in reducing the tool-workpiece interface temperature. In this study, the role of nanofluid in different machining processes has been explained. The different cutting parameters such as surface roughness workpiece-tool interface were influenced by application of nanofluid. Furthermore, the concentration of nanoparticle in base fluid also affects the surface roughness of the Ni based alloys. Effect of nanofluid for different machining processes such as turning, milling, grinding and drillig are also demonstrated in this study. This clearly indicates that nanofluid improves the surface roughness and reduce the cutting temperature of the Ni based alloys.
