Abstract

Cryogenic CO2-assisted minimum quantity lubrication milling technology is a green processing technology with broad application prospects. Aiming at the problem of tool wear in the application of cryogenic CO2-assisted minimum quantity lubrication in difficult-to-machine materials and the influence of relevant parameters on tool wear, this study used coated cemented carbide tools to perform milling experiments under cryogenic CO2-assisted minimum quantity lubrication technology conditions. The micro-morphology of the tool and chip was observed, and the energy spectrum of the tool chip contact area was analyzed. The results show that reducing CO2 temperature and increasing the oil flow of minimum quantity lubrication can improve the tool wear. The tool wear mechanisms under cryogenic CO2-assisted minimum quantity lubrication are mainly abrasive wear, diffusion wear, and oxidation wear. The chip sawtooth degree of the optimal parameter group is more conducive to chip breaking than that of dry-cutting and wet-cutting groups. The temperature of the tool-chip contact area is an important factor affecting tool wear; the higher the temperature, the faster the tool wear. At the same time, it is verified that cryogenic CO2-assisted minimum quantity lubrication technology can replace cutting fluid in hard-to-machine materials under certain conditions.
