Abstract - Near dry machining is the goal of today’s metal

machining, reduced cost of chip recycling (no residual oil), etc. and most important is the better surface finish. However, these advantages do come at a cost. The most prohibitive part of switching to dry machining is the large capital expenditure required to start a dry machining operation. Machines and tools designed for Metal Working Fluids cannot be readily adapted for dry cutting. New, more powerful machines must be purchased, and special tooling is often needed to withstand the high temperatures generated in dry cutting. The quality of machined parts may be affected significantly as the properties of the machined surface are significantly altered by dry machining in terms of its metallurgical properties and residual machining stresses. High cutting forces and temperatures in dry machining may cause the distortion of parts during machining. Moreover, parts are often rather hot after dry machining so their handling, inspection gauging, etc., may present a number of problems. Near-dry machining (NDM) formerly known as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) machining, was developed to provide at least partial solutions to the listed problems with dry machining.

cutting industry that tirelessly endeavors to reduce machining costs and impact from chemicals in the environment. Hard turning is a turning process done on materials with a Rockwell C hardness greater than 45. It is typically performed after the work piece is heat treated. The process is intended to replace or limit traditional grinding operations. Hard turning can be applied for purely stock removal purpose or finishing purpose. In Hard turning, high amount of heat is generated at the toolchip interface which not only increase the tool wear but also deteriorates the job quality in terms of surface finish. In this study, MQL setup used for Near Dry Machining (NDM) in turning round bars of 25 mm diameter of Oil Hardening NonShrinking Die Steel (OHNS – AISI O1 grade) hardened to 53-57 HRC by TNMG 160404 MT TT5080 insert. The machining was carried out at three levels of Cutting Speed (vc), Feed Rate (f), and Depth of cut (ap) to investigates the performance of MQL setup on Surface Roughness (Ra) and Machining time(t c) in hard turning of OHNS O1 grade. Full factorial (3 k) DOE was employed and 27 experiments were analyzed by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and regression equations were developed. ANOVA was used to find out the significant parameters. Feed rate is the most influential factor in increasing the surface roughness and decreasing machining time. Second influential factor for surface roughness is cutting speed which improves surface quality as speed increases and decreases machining time. Depth of cut has very less or no significance on both surface roughness and machining time. The optimum responses are at cutting speed of 190 m/min, feed rate of 0.0584616 mm/rev, 0.5 mm depth of cut and optimum machining time found to be 21.6065 sec producing surface roughness Ra to be 0.459032 µm.

In the continuous quest for reducing or eliminating the use of coolants in machining, only one process can offer a near-term solution for practical applications. This process uses a minimum quantity of lubrication and is referred to as “near-dry”. In near-dry machining (NDM), an air–oil mixture called an aerosol is fed into the machining zone. Increasing the productivity and the quality of the machined parts are the main challenges of metal cutting industries. Compared to dry machining, NDM substantially enhances cutting performance in terms of increasing tool life and improving the quality of the machined parts. The growing demands for high productivity and quality of turned parts in terms of surface finish and less time for machining need use of high cutting velocity. Such machining inherently produces high cutting temperature, which not only reduces tool life but also impairs the product quality. Small oil droplets carried by the air fly directly to the tool working zone, providing the needed cooling and lubricating actions. Because MWF cannot be seen in the working zone, and because the chips look and feel dry, this application of minimum-quantity lubricant is called near-dry machining. In short, NDM delivers a very small amount of coolant to a cutter’s edge in the form of an
