Experimental investigation on tool wear reduction by nano- alumina particles enriched waste coconut oil nano-fluid for machining SAE 1045 shaft

The performance of machining tool can be assessed in terms of tool wear. Increased tool wear has an impact on surface quality. The surface quality of the shaft is a major influence in fatigue load failures. The liquid waste of multiple times used coconut oil are disposed in open channel, which contaminates the soil and ground water and also harm to environment. This study looked into the impact of a Nano fluid containing Nano-alumina particles enriched waste coconut oil on tool wear. The samples in this study were divided into two groups: group I was the control group, and group II was the experimental group, in which the samples were machined (turned) on a heavy-duty lathe using the green machining process. The intervention group's sample was machined using a clean technology approach that included 0.3 percent Nano-alumina particles enriched waste coconut oil based wet machining. To validate the statistical model, the experimented observations were subjected to Taguchi analysis and subsequent examination by ANOVA. Based on the experimental findings, the proposed Nano-alumina particles enriched waste coconut oil based wet machining method was developed.
