摘要

Inconel 718, a nickel-based superalloy essential for aerospace components, presents significant machining challenges due to excessive cutting forces and residual stresses that impair surface quality and dimensional precision. This study introduces a novel multi-objective optimization framework for milling Inconel 718, pioneering the first use of C60 nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) to leverage the exceptional thermal conductivity and lubricity of C60 nanoparticles. A coupled prediction model for cutting force and residual stress, incorporating NMQL’s lubrication and cooling effects, was developed and optimized using a diversified mutation-driven particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to balance cutting force, residual stress, and material removal rate (MRR). Experimental validation on a vertical machining center confirms high model accuracy, with cutting force prediction errors below 6.73% and residual stress errors under 20 MPa. Compared to conventional MQL, C60 NMQL reduces cutting force by 24.92%, residual stress by 36.73%. These results underscore C60 NMQL’s ability to mitigate mechanical and thermal loads, providing a robust quantitative framework for achieving high-quality, efficient machining of nickel-based superalloys in aerospace applications.
