Corn Oil Biodiesel Dispersed with Nanopowder as Cutting Fluid in Metal Cutting Process on CNC Milling Machine
Main Article Content
Abstract
The major objective of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of biodiesel infused with CuO nanopowder as a fluid used for cutting in the framework of metal cutting processes. The transesterification process utilizing corn oil as the feedstock synthesized Biodiesel. Subsequently, the resulting biodiesel was blended with CuO nanopowder at a concentration of 100 parts per million (ppm). The aluminium work piece was firmly attached to a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, and a metal cutting process was carried out using biodiesel as the cutting fluid. The research included the evaluation of many attributes, including Arithmetic mean roughness (Ra), Root mean square roughness (Rq) and Ten Point height roughness (Rz), using the Talysurf apparatus. The results suggest that there is a positive relationship between the depth of cut and cutting time, as well as a negative relationship between the depth of cut and roughness values. Based on the results obtained, it can be deduced that the biodiesel produced has promising characteristics for use as efficient cutting fluids in the metal cutting procedure.
