Effect of Minimum Quantity Lubrication on Tool Wear and Surface Roughness in Micro Milling

Chou, Shih-yen 12 August 2009 (has links)
Product miniaturization is a long-term trend. Mechanical micro-machining is a suitable technique for manufacturing of microstructures characterized by cheap equipments, less working time, and possible complex geometry. For the requirements for high precision manufacture, the use of minimum/minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) is a good strategy for micro-machining due to long tool life and high product accuracy. This study presents an experimental investigation of the MQL in micro milling. The tool wear, surface roughness, and burr formation are observed at different feeds (1 £gm/rev, 1.5 £gm/rev, and 2 £gm/rev) and cutting speeds ( 37.7 m/min, 56.55 m/min, and 75.4 m/min) under dry and MQL cutting. Unlike conventional milling, greater tool wear is observed at lower feeds. Compared with the same cutting condition for dry cutting (feed 2 £gm/rev, cutting speed 56.55 m/min), MQL can reduce the tool wear about 56%. In terms of the consumption of the cutting fluid, oil flow rate of 1.88 ml/h is sufficient for reducing the tool wear in micro milling. According to the experimental results, deterioration of surface finish and burr formation are closely related to the tool wear. The use of MQL, not only reduces the tool wear, but also diminishes the deterioration of surface finish (the improvement of Ra is at least 0.6 £gm) and the burr formation.
