INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF MAGNETIC FIELD-ASSISTED MINIMUM QUANTITY LUBRICATION (MQL) ON SURFACE ROUGHNESS AND TOOL WEAR IN TURNING OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the application of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technology enhanced by a magnetic field in the machining of aluminum alloys. The research compares conventional MQL with magnetic field-assisted MQL under experimental conditions to evaluate their effects on the cutting process. The results indicate that the application of a magnetic field improves the penetration capability of lubricant particles into the cutting zone, reduces friction, and decreases heat generation. Consequently, surface roughness is reduced, and the tool life is significantly extended. The findings of this study have important scientific and practical implications for modern manufacturing industries
