INVESTIGATION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN ORTHOGONAL TURNING OF AISI-304 ALLOY STEEL USING FORMULATED VEGETABLE OIL-BASED CUTTING FLUID
ABSTRACT This research focuses on investigation of energy consumption in orthogonal turning of AISI 304 alloy steel, with a view of coming up with optimized parameters to accomplish minimum energy consumption and surface roughness in dry and wet cutting environments using mineral oil and vegetable oil based cutting fluids. The procedure involved sourcing of mineral and Jathropha vegetable oil. The vegetable oil was subjected to GC-MS test to ascertain the ...
