Comparative investigation and optimization of turning process parameters using Taguchi technique in turning of Inconel 718

In this work, sustainability in manufacturing is accomplished by introduction of a vortex tube. Vortex tube separates the hot compressed air and the cold air that flows through the tube and exits the cold air alone on to the work piece. Vortex tube are used for cooling the cutting tools in turning and milling operations. Modern CNC machine tools are embedded with the vortex tube for effective heat removal process from the cutting tool. By the implementation of vortex tube, the liquid coolant are totally eliminated. Sustainable manufacturing targets towards non-polluting means of manufacturing techniques and energy efficient method of manufacturing. The community, society and employees of sustainable manufacturing are economically sound and safe. Sustainable manufacturing is the innovative technique that do not compromises with the traditional method of manufacturing. In this work, sustainability in manufacturing is accomplished by introduction of a vortex tube. This invariantly reduces the use of cutting oil and thereby reduces the pollution and attains sustainability in manufacturing.Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
