Abstract

This study proposed the application of a nanofluid/ultrasonic atomization minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) method to grind Inconel 718 alloys. This is a grinding manufacturing innovation on lubrication technology. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles were used as the nanofluid additives. Specifically, MWCNTs exhibit excellent thermophysical properties to effectively remove the heat generated by cutting and reduce the friction coefficient, and MoS2 has excellent lubricating properties to generate film layers with high wear resistance to protect the workpiece and avoid plowing. The parameters of multiple performance characteristics were optimized through applications of the Taguchi robust design method, grey relational analysis, and a fuzzy inference system. The control parameters comprised nozzle angle, distance of the nozzle, type of nanoparticle, fraction of the nanofluid, value of atomization, tangential velocity, table rate, and air pressure. Subsequently, the optimized result was compared with basefluid/ultrasonic atomization MQL and nanofluid MQL. The results revealed that nanofluid/ultrasonic atomization MQL yields the optimal grinding force ratio, grinding temperature, and surface roughness.
