Abstract :This study focuses on milling under sustainable cutting conditions of ST52 steel, frequently used in the manufacturing industry. ST52 steel is a good candidate as a workpiece because it is inexpensive and readily available. To achieve sustainable conditions, the cutting zone minimum quantity lubrication technology was used during processing. The experiments used three cutting speeds (120-180-240 m min-1), three feed rates (0.12-0.18-0.24 mm rev-1), and a constant depth of cut (0.5 mm). Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used to reduce repetitions. The response parameters are surface roughness, flank wear, and cutting temperature. As a result, when compared to the dry environment, the minimum quantity lubrication environment improved surface roughness by approximately 62.37%, flank wear by approximately 9.95%, and cutting temperature by approximately 13.82%. In addition, the most effective control factors on response parameters were determined by statistical analysis.Keywords : ST52 steel, Machinability, Minimum quantity lubrication, Taguchi technique
