Description
Summary:The sustainability of a process is the objective of modern industries aiming to reduce waste in production, since consumers require high quality and efficiency with fair price. Thus, a good understanding of the process should be its starting point. The manufacture of dental implants is an example in which waste reduction is important for the reduction of prices due to the demand for great quality and accuracy. This study observed the behaviour of sustainable micro-cutting applied to the Ti-6Al-7Nb titanium alloy, considering the ploughing effect on minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and high-speed machining (HSM) conditions. When compared with dry condition and low-speed cutting in orthogonal micro-cutting, the use of HSM in dry cutting was more efficient than using MQL. The dry condition presented lower surface roughness, whilst the cooled/lubricated condition presented lower burr formation.
