Abstract
In the present investigation an attempt has been made to explore the potential of MQL milling of Inconel-625 with coated carbide tool. The performance is compared in terms of surface roughness and tool flank wear in MQL milling with dry and wet milling operation of Inconel-625. The milling under MQL condition gives superior results over wet and dry milling operations. Factorial design of experiments ANOVA analysis was applied to investigate the statistically significant parameters. RSM-Desirability function optimization was applied to find out optimal setting of parameters to minimize tool wear and surface roughness in MQL machining of Inconel-625.
