In nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) grinding of titanium (Ti) alloy, existing nanoparticles cannot solve the technical bottleneck of high surface integrity. Therefore, graphene (GR) nanoparticles, which have excellent lubrication performance, were applied in NMQL. The tribological properties of GR nanofluid on wheel-workpiece interface were studied by friction and wear test. In the experiment, 0.5-3 nm thick GR nanoparticles were used to prepare 3% vol. palm oil-based nanofluid. Ball-disc experiment under grinding conditions was carried out on the friction and wear tester. Grinding balls with SiC abrasive grains (to simulate the grinding wheel) and Ti-6Al-4V disc (to simulate the workpiece) were used. Load force was set for simulation of pressure boundary condition of the grinding wheel-workpiece interface. Stratiform nanoparticles (MoS2, MoO3, and HBN) were used as the comparison group. Results demonstrated that GR nanofluid achieved smaller friction coefficient (0.295), error bars (0.0029), and area of scratches (182,940 mu m(2)). GR nanoparticles with small gravity and large specific surface area improved the viscosity of nanofluid and consequently the lubrication performance. The plane hexagonal honeycomb structure determines the strong lubrication stability and abrasive resistance of the GR nanoparticles. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) images of the scratch surface also verified the above conclusions.
