Abstract :Nowadays, due to limited resources and manufacturers desire to keep manufacturing costs at the lowest level, minimum quantity lubrication systems stand out. Ultrasonic atomisation based cutting fluid (uACF) spraying system, which is one of the minimum quantity lubrication methods, has been compared with conventional cooling systems on different performance parameters. The study concluded that the uACF system can outperform or compete with other cooling conditions in all performance outputs with the right choice of cutting parameter combination.In addition, the study also revealed the effects of cutting speed and feed rate levels on performance outputs under different cooling conditions. In the light of the data obtained from the study, it is concluded that the uACF system, which has a much lower installation cost compared to complex MQL methods, provides good performance under real cutting conditions with a low amount of cutting fluid consumption (0.5 ml/min) and has a high utilisation potential.
