Several studies are being carried out to curtail the heat generated in machining. Among the various alternatives available, cutting fluids remain to be the choice. However, the various limitations of the cutting fluids restrict their application. Hence, different techniques are being explored to replace the use of cutting fluids, minimum quantity lubrication being one of them. This present article tries to review the available literature and examine nanofluids as potential candidates for minimum quantity lubrication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
