Özet

© 2023 Elsevier LtdIn present investigation, a number of experiments were done to determine the impact of surfactants on Waspaloy machining characteristics and the friction-wear behavior on the ball-on-disc tester. The experiments were carried out in dry, base fluid (sunflower oil), Cuo, and ZnO nanofluid conditions with/without surfactant. Four distinct surfactants, including Gum Arabic (GA), Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), CeTyltrimethylAmmonium Bromide (CTAB), and PolyVinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), were employed to prepare the nanofluids with surfactant. In addition, viscosity, pH, and thermal conductivity measurements were made to determine the prepared nanofluid's thermo-physical properties. Tool wear and its mechanisms, surface roughness and cutting temperature in machining experiments, coefficient of friction (CoF), microhardness, and wear track width in ball-on-disk tests were choosen as evaluation criterias. From both the machining and ball-on-disk test results, it was determined that the ZnO + PVP nanofluid condition outperformed the other conditions. The ZnO + PVP nanofluid condition provided 53.9 %, 36.52 %, and 44 % improvement in tool wear, surface roughness, and cutting temperature, respectively, compared to the dry cutting condition. Also, considering the results of the ball-on-disk test, it was found that the CoF and width track width values for the ZnO+PVP nanofluid condition were both 76.02 % and 56.11 % lower than the dry condition.
