Following the principle of "Economic Development in Harmony with Environmental Protection" [9], several studies on MQL in machining SKD 11 tool steel [10] or 9XC steel (9CrSi) [11] have been researched and published Investigating the flat surface milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy using the MQL method will provide conditions for the development of MQL in machining various materials in Vietnam…

Influence on Surface Roughness (Ra) The ANOVA analysis results show that the surface roughness of the machined parts under minimum lubrication conditions is the smallest; the surface roughness under dry machining conditions is higher in most experiments (Figure 3-10) The surface of the machined parts reveals variations in surface roughness among different machining conditions, as depicted in Figure 3-11 The coloration in the image of the workpiece after machining under minimum lubrication conditions (Figure 3-11b) illustrates uniformity in color, indicating 11 Figure 3-14 Interaction plot for cutting force Fc values The trend of Fc variation (Figure 3-14) under dry cutting, minimum quantity lubrication, and flood conditions is quite similar, where the cutting force decreases as Vc increases from level 1 to level 2, and Fc increases again as Vc increases to level 3 Table 3-8 Response table for the standard deviation of cutting force Fc Level CL Vc fz ap 1 180.29 77.75 149.10

Vb is minimal when machining under minimum quantity lubrication conditions in most experiments Conversely, the flank wear Vb is higher when machining under dry cutting conditions in most experiments (Figure 3-15) Figure 3-15 Comparison of flank wear (Vb) under different machining conditions 12 The analysis results, as shown in Table 3-10 and Figure 3-16, indicate that the lubrication condition CL has the most significant impact on Vb, followed by fz and ap The trend of Vb variation when machining under minimum quantity lubrication and flood conditions is similar (Figure 3-16), where Vb tends to increase as cutting speed (Vc) increases from 60 to 150 m/min, and decreases when further increasing cutting speed to 240 m/min Table 3-10 Response table for the standard deviation of flank wear Vb

wear Vb The Vb increases as Vc increases from 60 to 150 m/min, and continues to increase as Vc increases to 150 m/min This is because the cutting heat concentration is high in the machining zone during dry machining, leading to a continuous increase in tool wear as the cutting speed increases 3.5 Conclusion of chapter 3 Based on the experimental results, machining of Ti-6Al-4V alloy reveals that: - Machining under MQL conditions allows achieving smaller values of Ra, Fc, and Vb compared to dry machining and flood machining Meanwhile, the values of surface roughness (Ra), cutting force (Fc), and tool wear (Vb) are highest when machining under dry conditions - The surface roughness (Ra) value when milling under minimal lubrication conditions is less than 27% compared to flood machining and less than 31.5% compared to dry machining 13 - The cutting force (Fc) value when milling under minimal lubrication conditions is less than 12.8% compared to flood machining and less than 16.6% compared to dry machining - The tool wear (Vb) value when milling under minimal lubrication conditions is less than 42.9% compared to flood machining and less than 51% compared to dry machining

between parameters, notably the cross- effect between Vc and ap, which accounts for 4.88% The influence of other parameters is negligible The influence of cutting speed (Vc): Besides geometric factors, Vc has the greatest impact on the amount of tool wear when milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy This can also be attributed to the significant increase in temperature at the cutting zone when increasing the cutting speed, leading to increased tool wear and consequently an increase in surface roughness Figure 4-5 shows that Ra decreases as Vc increases from 60 m/min to 150 m/min and continues to increase as Vc increases to 240 m/min This change is due to significant tool wear and mechanical deformation, as well as heat at high temperatures Additionally, increasing Vc can lead to uneven transmission of lubricating oil droplets, reducing lubrication efficiency, increasing friction and cutting heat, thereby increasing the value of Ra Hình 4- 5 95% Confidence Interval Chart of Ra with Vc The effect of gas supply pressure (P): P plays an important role in the formation of lubricating oil droplets and has a significant impact on the ability to deliver oil droplets to the lubrication zone, thereby enhancing lubrication efficiency, reducing friction, and cutting heat in the machining process overall 17 Figure 4-6 95% Confidence Interval Chart of Ra with P Figure 4-6 shows the trend of Ra decreasing as P increases from 1 to 3 bar and then increasing again as P continues to rise to 5 bar This indicates that the appropriate pressure, sufficient to distribute lubricating oil onto the surface, significantly affects the value of surface roughness Too low gas pressure may result in insufficient dispersion of lubricating oil over the machining area or insufficient gas pressure to deliver lubricating oil droplets to the cutting zone Therefore, the selection of appropriate process parameters and lubrication, especially cutting speed (Vc), and compressed air pressure (P), plays a crucial role in machining surface quality 4.3.2 Influence of cutting and MQL parameters on cutting force (Fc) The ANOVA results in Table 4-5 indicate that ap has the most significant impact on Fc, with a contribution level of 51.39%; followed by the influences of Q, P, and fz, with respective contribution ratios of 12.79%, 5.38%, and 4.01% Meanwhile, the impact of Vc is negligible The effect of the cutting depth (ap) on cutting force (Fc) is illustrated in Graph 4-7 It can be observed that there is an increasing trend in cutting force as the cutting depth value increases This aligns with the theory of cutting processes, where a larger cutting depth leads to a larger cutting area, resulting in an increase in the plastic deformation required to remove the larger material layer, thus requiring a higher cutting force Table 4-5 ANOVA analysis of cutting force Fc Source DF Seq SS Contribution Adj SS Adj MS F- P- Value Value Regression 14 458244 96.60% 458244 32731.7 24.35 0.000 P 1

hardness characteristics, during the machining process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the material hardness remains even as cutting speed and cutting zone temperature increase, requiring greater cutting force to separate the material This is a distinguishing factor when machining Ti-6Al-4V alloy compared to machining conventional steel alloys The influence of P on cutting force Fc is depicted in Figure 4-7,
