ABSTRACT
In this work, a comparative analysis was
carried out to determine tool life using local vegetable oil (soya bean oil).
Mild steel was machined using tungsten carbide tool. The tool life, surface
finish and other parameters were put into consideration by measuring speed,
depth of cut, and feed at different conditions. The obtained result indicated
that the process parameters of cutting fluid, cutting speed, depth of cut and
feed rate have significant effects on the quality of turning of mild steel.
Also the local vegetable oil used exhibited high thermal conductivity and
oxidant stability and was also found to improve the tool life of the cutting tool,
with a better surface finish for machining at low and medium cutting speeds.
The cooling property of these oil compared favorably with soluble oil. The
cutting temperature, tool life and Surface roughness decreased significantly
with the use of the vegetable oil as compared with conventional cutting fluid
and this can be attributed to the properties of vegetable oil. This result
obtained can be used in sourcing new lubricant from vegetable oil
