Investigation of Performance of Turning of Austenitic Stainless Steel AISI 1015 with Nano Boric Acid Suspended in Coconut Oil

Abstract

In the beginning, conventional cutting fluids are used in machining process like turning and these leads to
have better performance of machining. As cutting operation become severe the cutting fluid complexity increases. This is
focused here on user friendly and ecofriendly cutting fluid use while machining. Machining with this type of fluids give
better performance and better heat dissipation to protect tool and work piece from the overheating. From earlier
research one of the options for that is coconut oil which is better above point of view and it’s having higher thermal and
oxidative properties. This coconut oil can be used with Nano particle which raise the heat carrying capacity while
machining with hard material. Fluid mainly used in hard material machining like stainless steel, cooper etc. Main focus
of this investigation will be on flank wear and surface roughness of work. In this work we also found that coconut oil
having 0.5 % Nano boric acid suspended in coconut oil is suited best among the all experimental trial and having lower
surface roughness and flank wear.
