1. Title
Analysis for Surface Roughness for MQL with Nano fluid in Face Milling process.
2. Introduction
Milling is a machining process that uses a Milling cutting tools for cutting and drilling.
Milling has significant important in manufacturing. It can produce very fine finishes
and very accurate dimensions, yet in mass production contexts it can also rough out
3

4. large volumes of metal quite rapidly. In milling process flood cooling is a very
expensive process. As it is shown from the literature that flood cooling is not
environmental friendly. OSHA and NIOSH surveyed that flood cooling are very
health hazards. They cause Cholera and other skin diseases. Keeping these things in
mind and going green is a concern for many manufacturers and.
3. Problem Statement
Machining without the use of any cutting fluid (dry or green machining) is used in
conventional machining process. This is economical as well as environment friendly
process. Dry machining has some limitations as temperature increase in this process
due to direct contact to tool and work piece. This also affects the quality of work
piece. The quality of machined components is currently of high interest, for the market
demands mechanical components of increasingly high performance. To control
temperature in dry Milling process lubricants are introduced. After using lubricants
4. Aim & Objectives
4.1. Aim
The aim of this research is to investigate the effect Nano Fluids and other parameters
involved in milling process on Surface Roughness and Temperature.
4.2. Objectives
Objectives of this research work are given as:
• Literature review of Milling process and its parameter which effect
Temperature and surface roughness
• Find out the ranges of input parameters.
• Milling tool, work-piece material consideration & Nano fluid selection.
• To develop experiment design and model by using statistical technique.
• To establish the experimental setup for machining.
• To predict the effect of process parameter and Nano Fluids on Temperature
and surface roughness by mathematical model.

5. 5. Literature Review
A mixture of Nanometre particle having size 1 to 100 nm with base fluid is called
Nano fluid. Nanoparticles have higher thermal conductivity than the base fluids so
their mixture with base fluid enhanced the thermo-physical properties. Many
researchers have recently worked on the nanoparticles and their effects on output
parameters of different machining process i.e. milling, turning, drilling and grinding.
Heat transfer rate of the conventional fluid can be increase by adding Nanoparticles.
For example, mineral oils have the excellent lubrication property and have poor
thermal property which restricts it to use in machining. Addition of Millimetre sized
particles in base fluid can improve the thermal properties but it causes erosion and
clogging. Nanoparticles have many advantages, such as greater thermal conductivity,
lower pressure drop and good stability.

6. Sayuti et al. checked the behaviour of nanoparticles in Milling of Al6061-T6 and Al2017-T4. Carbon onion and SiO2 Nano
particles with practical size varying from 5 to 20 Nano meter were added in ECOCUT SSN 322 oil and Alumicut oil. Result
shows that when carbon onion is added in 1.5%wt minimum surface roughness and forces are achieved. Best surface roughness
is achieved at 1% SiO2 with 2 bar air pressure and 30 degree Nozzle and minimum forces were achieved at 60 degree nozzle
position with 2% concentration .
