Abstract :

This paper studies the effects of soluble cutting fluid-based sio2 Nano-fluid on machining force in turning of hardened AISI 4340 tool steel. These influences, Moreover, are compared with the outputs of similar tests through dry. The obtained results showed 1% volume fraction of sio2 Nanoparticles added to soluble water as cutting fluid was considerably reduced machining force in comparison dry. The investigations indicated that sio2 Nano-fluid reduced machining force by 24% compared to the dry state Moreover, the results illustrated that the lowest machining force obtained in cutting speed 400 m/min, feed rate 0.1 mm/rev and cutting nanofluid.
