The Improvement of Metal Cutting Processing Using Al2O3 Nanoparticles

Abstract

Recently, the scientific researches on nano-existing metalworking fluids consistently led to improvements in processing methods. Cooling and lubricating with the addition of particles of different particles, the fluid is a method of increasing the performance of the cutting tool. In recent years, conventional metalworking fluids involved in the nano-sized particles emerges as a new method. The fluids, in which these particles are added, is called as “nanofluids”. Inasmuch as the thermal conductivity of a solid metal is higher than that in the joined base from fluids, metallic particles increases the thermal conductivity of the fluid mixture into the join. This study examines the effects of Al2O3 nanofluids on the improvement of metal processing.
