Lubricants are playing an important role in world industrial and economic development, mainly by reducing friction and wear in mechanical contacts. The outlook for eco-friendly MWFs for the next decade is 15% of global volume share. Due to ever increasing demand for environmentally acceptable products suitable for use as MWFs, vegetable oil-based MWFs are drawing the attention of researchers across the globe. Owing to the desirable properties of vegetable oils as cutting fluids, vegetable oil-based cutting fluids play an important role in conserving the environment by means of sustainability. This paper focuses on various vegetable oil being developed to promote biodegradable MWFs across the world. The performance of vegetable oils with respect to cutting and thrust force, tool wear, temperature, surface roughness in turning, drilling, milling and grinding a wide variety of materials are studied and reported. The review also throws light on the tribological behavior of vegetable oils that influence the lubricity in Metal working process. The review reveals that vegetable oils offer an alternative, eco-friendly and sustainable MFWs for the future of manufacturing.

Abstract. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a method that uses a very small amount of liquid to reduce friction between cutting tool and work piece during machining. The implementation of MQL machining has become a viable alternative to flood cooling machining and dry machining. The overall performance has been evaluated during meso-scale milling of mild steel using different diameter milling cutters. Experiments have been conducted under two different lubrication condition: dry and MQL with variable cutting parameters. The tool wear and its surface roughness, machined surfaces microstructure and surface roughness were observed for both conditions. It was found from the results that MQL produced better results compared to dry machining. The 0.5 mm tool has been selected as the most optimum tool diameter to be used with the lowest surface roughness as well as the least flank wear generation. For the workpiece, it was observed that the cutting temperature possesses crucial effect on the microstructure and the surface roughness of the machined surface and bigger diameter tool actually resulted in higher surface roughness. The poor conductivity of the cutting tool may be one of reasons behind. IntroductionMinimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has progressively emerged into the area of metal machining and, has already been established as a viable alternative to dry and flood cooling machining. The amount that should be applied in MQL is subjective and depends on the material, process and tools. As a general rule of thumb, MQL uses 5 to 80 ml/hour (0.2 to 2.5 oz./hour) on the tools which has less than 40 mm diameter [1]. Some major advantages of MQL include improved environment, better surface finish, increased tool life, reduced wear and damage at tool tips; reduce health hazards, and overall low costs in various micromachining processes. Machining processes using MQL have been studied for all conventional meso or micro machining processes like micro and meso scale drilling [8]. Implementing MQL in machining process helps to increase the tool life and produce better surface finish. It is also the best remedy for promoting eco-friendly industry due to reduction in waste. In this paper, the performance of mesomilling under MQL has been studied and compared with the same machining experience under dry condition. There have been numerous studies on micro or meso milling using MQL and dry machining. For example, [9] studied the micro-milling using MQL with varying the cutting parameters and analyzed the tool performance and machined surface condition. The tool performance was analyzed by [5] and it showed that MQL increased the tool life by 100 times compared to dry machining. MQL Assisted Meso-scale milling has been studied by [10] and it was shown how that the use of compressed chilly air and nanofluid MQL is effective for improving surface finish and reducing

“…However, it requires special machining and cutting tool setups [11,13,14]. MQL, known as the "micro-lubrication" and "near-dry machining" [15,16], refers to a small amount of cutting fluid (2-100 ml/hr) in the form of aerosol being delivered to the tool-to-workpiece interface. MQL may also refer to use of cutting fluids in tiny quantities [12,15,17].…”

Cutting fluid plays an important role in machining processes to achieve dimensional accuracy in reducing tool wear and improving the tool life. Conventional flood cooling method in machining processes is not cost effective and consumption of huge amount of cutting fluids is not healthy and environmental friendly. In micromachining, flood cooling is not recommended to avoid possible damage of the microstructures. Therefore, one of the alternatives to overcome the environmental issues to use minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) in machining process. MQL is eco-friendly and has economical advantage on manufacturing cost. However, there observed lack of study on MQL in improving machined surface roughness in micromilling. Study of the effects of MQL on surface roughness should be carried out because surface roughness is one of the important issues in micromachined parts such as microfluidic channels. This paper investigates and compares surface roughness with the presence of MQL and dry cutting in micromilling of aluminium alloy 1100 using DT-110 milling machine. The relationship among depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed on surface roughness is also analyzed. All three machining parameters identified as significant for surface roughness with dry cutting which are depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed. For surface roughness with MQL, it is found that spindle speed did not give much influence on surface roughness. The presence of MQL provides a better surface roughness by decreasing the friction between tool and workpiece.
