Investigation into the effects of solid lubricant on the surface characteristics of some metals during orthogonal machining

What is it about?

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the use of solid lubricant during orthogonal machining of carbon steels. This is a pioneer work in Nigeria. Most works have been on oblique cutting using conventional oil as lubricants.

Why is it important?

From the findings of this work, solid lubricant use can be advocated as a better alternative to conventional cutting fluid. It is easily recoverable from the chips after machining.
