Abstract

Mainly used in the automotive and aircraft industries, Al–Si-based metal matrix composites stand out with their superior tribological properties under difficult operating conditions. Machinability studies were carried out to prevent and solve the problems that may occur during the shaping of these materials. It is important to improve these composites' machinability performance and environmental impact during machining. Traditional machining fluids have a harmful effect on the environment and human life. It is critical to utilize alternate cutting fluids to eliminate these consequences. It is seen that the studies on this subject are insufficient. In this study, Al–12Si-based composites reinforced with hybrid reinforcements were milled under sustainable cooling/lubrication conditions. According to the results obtained, with cryo-LN2 assisted cooling, surface roughness, tool wear, and cutting temperature were reduced, resulting in better performance than dry machining. It was also determined that energy consumption was reduced with cryo-LN2 compared to dry machining. As a result, the cryogenic cooling technique proved to be the best option for the sustainable manufacturing of Al–12Si-based hybrid composites.
