SUSTAINABLE FACE MILLING OF INCONEL 718 USING MQL AND NANOFLUIDS MQL WITH VEGETABLE OIL AS BASE FLUID
… CEC. Firstly, the research characterized three vegetable oils (High Oleic Soybean Oil (HOSO), Low Oleic Soybean Oil (LOSO), and Accu-lube Lb2000) and studied their rheological and thermal properties at varying temperatures (25 – 70 °C) compared to CEC. The result showed that the viscosity of all …
