Özet
Aluminum 6082 alloys are commonly utilized in significant industries because of their unique characteristics. However, they exhibit poor machinability as a result of their high ductility, high thermal expansion coefficient, and tendency to built-up edge formation. Considering the alloy's widespread usage, the difficulty of machining it raises sustainability concerns. For this reason, although minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) methods using various nanoparticle-added nanofluids have been used to enhance machinability, the use of graphene nanoparticles (GNP) has been ignored. Furthermore, there has been a lack of sustainability assessment and optimization. In the presented study, MQL methods using various GNP-added nanofluid (N-MQL) was used for the first time in the milling of Al6082 alloy, and its machining responses (cutting temperature, cutting force, feed force, surface roughness, and chip morphology) and sustainability indicators (carbon emission and total machining cost) were determined and compared with dry-cutting and pure MQL utilizing vegetable cutting oil. The utilization of the N-MQL, as opposed to the dry-cutting with appropriate cutting parameters, resulted in improvements of 50.6% in cutting force, 65.4% in feed force, 50.6% in cutting temperature, 33.2% in chip width, 15.3% in chip length, 67.3% in surface roughness, 21.5% in carbon emissions, and 52.6% in machining cost. Finally, applying multi-objective optimization using NSGA-II (non-dominant sequencing genetic algorithm II) and the multi-criteria decision-making method using VIKOR, optimum process parameters were determined in terms of sustainability-weighed carbon emissions and total machining cost. From the sustainability-based optimization results, it was determined that the cutting speed should be selected between 36 and 40 m/min, the feed should be selected between 0.14 and 0.18 mm/rev, and the N-MQL method should be used. Using the N-MQL method at above-average cutting speeds and feed values are the most sustainable machining parameters and condition for milling of Al6082.
