Abstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance characteristics of Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂) modified Jatropha Oil as an environmentally friendly cutting fluid for use in machining processes. Varying percentages of MoS₂ were added to Jatropha Oil in order to assess the effect of these additives upon machining performance. Machining experiments were conducted over a range of cutting parameters including; variable cutting speeds, variable feed rates and various depths of cut. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical analyses demonstrated that the addition of MoS₂ to Jatropha Oil, along with the cutting speed, had significant influences upon the machining response variables. In contrast, the feed rate and depth of cut had less of an impact upon the machining responses. Additionally, the surface roughness and tool wear values obtained from the machining tests were evaluated using 3-Dimensional surface plots in order to determine the most favorable machining conditions.
