The Effect of Karanja based Soluble Cutting Fluid on Chips Formation in Orthogonal Cutting Process of AISI 1045 Steel

The use of metal working fluids widespread with the industrial revolution in the late century. Petroleum based cutting fluid were being extensively used in the machining area causing health and ecological-related issues. The present work tried to elaborate the performance of eco-friendly and user-friendly karanja oil in water based cutting fluid during orthogonal cutting of AISI 1045 steel. Further attempt has been made to identify influence of developed and conventional cutting fluid on chip formation. Based on the findings of the study, a great reduction of 11% was observed in chips thickness which significantly increases tool life.
