Effect of Various Lubricating Strategies on Machining of Titanium Alloys: A State-of-the-Art Review
Source abstract
Abstract
In recent years, researchers have proposed a variety of sustainable ways of achieving maximal lubricant efficacy with the least amount of lubricant. As an alternative to traditional lubricating procedures, these planned solutions have been highly embraced by scientific groups. This paper provides a comprehensive review of modern cooling/lubrication technologies and their influence on titanium alloy milling, grinding, and turning. Selected studies on recent advances in the lubrication system, such as power consumption, cutting forces, surface finish, and so on, are examined. The effect of various cutting fluids on the machining of titanium alloys has also been investigated. According to the prior state of the art, lubricating techniques and lubrication types have a considerable influence on the machining efficiency of titanium alloys.
