“…The aforementioned issue could be overcome by applying cutting fluids on tool-work interface [5,9]. The usage of cutting fluids are primarily: (i) to reduce the heat generated in the tool-work interface [6,10], (ii) to reduce the friction between the tool and work due to machining operation [11] and (iii) to wash away the metal chips removed during the machining operation [12]. The metal chips washed away by the lubricants and coolants keep the tool-work interface free from any chips, leading to smooth material removal from the workpiece [13].…”

The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of tool-work interface temperature observed during the turning of AISI 4340 cylindrical steel components in three machining conditions, namely flooded, near-dry and dry conditions with three separate CNMG-PEF 800 diamond finish Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated carbide cutting tool. The machining parameters considered in this study are cutting velocity, feed rate and depth of cut. The experiments were planned based on full factorial design (33) and executed in an All Geared Conventional Lathe. The tool-work interface temperature was observed using a K-type tool-work thermocouple, while the machining of steel, and subsequently, a mathematical model was developed for the tool-work interface temperature values through regression analysis. The significance of the selected machining parameters and their levels on tool-work interface temperature was found using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and F-test. The results revealed that machining under near-dry condition exhibited lesser temperature at the tool-work interface, which is the sign of producing better quality products in equivalence with the machining under flooded condition.

“…The concept of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has been suggested since a decade ago as a means of addressing the issues of health and environment hazards associated with the airborne cutting fluid particles on factory shop floors. 1 The coolant systems can be eliminated and thus create significant saving from energy and equipment, reduction of waste stream and floor space, and a cleaner and healthier work environment. MQL refers to the use of only minute amount of cutting fluids in mist form (with compressed air) to the cutting zone.…”

In this article, an attempt has been made to explore the potential performance of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle-based cutting fluid in hard milling of hardened 60Si 2 Mn steel (50-52 HRC) under different minimum quantity lubrication conditions. The comparison of hard milling under minimum quantity lubrication conditions is done between pure cutting fluids and nanofluids (in terms of surface roughness, cutting force, tool wear, and tool life). Hard milling under minimum quantity lubrication conditions with nanofluid Al 2 O 3 of 0.5% volume has shown superior results. The improvement in tool life almost 177%-230% (depending on the type of nanofluid) and the reduction in surface roughness and cutting forces almost 35%-60% have been observed under minimum quantity lubrication with Al 2 O 3 nanofluids due to better tribological behavior as well as cooling and lubricating effects. The most outstanding result is that the uncoated cemented carbide insert can be effectively used in machining high-hardness steels (.50 HRC) while maintaining long tool life and good surface integrity (R a = 0.08-0.35 mm; R z = 0.5-2.0 mm, equivalent to finish grinding) rather than using the costlier tools like coated carbide, ceramic, and (P)CBN. Therefore, using hard nanoparticle-reinforced cutting fluid under minimum quantity lubrication conditions in practical manufacturing becomes very promising.

“…Dry machining is most sustainable but it has some limitations which are already discussed. Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) or Near dry machining (NDM) is one of the most promising solutions to meet this requirements because in Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) or near dry machining (NDM), a minute quantity of fluid (10-100 ml/h) is sprayed to cutting zone with compressed air [41] which is middle between flood cooling and dry machining. Some researchers [42][43] worked out on optimizing MQL parameters such as droplet size, wetting angle, wettability, nozzle distance, nozzle angle, flow rate etc.…”

Various types cooling/lubrication techniques are used in machining processes for enhancing machining performances. Conventional way of cooling/lubrication requires higher coolant cost, waste and disposal cost. Not only has that it had many negative impacts on environment and operators health. For attaining highest efficiency of cutting fluids with minimum quantity, different sustainable strategies are tried to develop. In recent decades researchers are worked out on different cooling/lubrication strategies alternative to conventional cooling. This paper represents a comprehensive review of all presently practiced cooling/lubrication strategies and their effects on different aspects such as surface quality of machined component, tool wear, tool life, cutting temperature, cutting forces etc. through analyzing selected papers. The influence of different cutting fluids such as solid lubricants, nanofluids, ionic liquids etc. with their positive and negative impacts is also discussed. The research gaps are also identified for further research works. From review it is clear that the machining performance is highly affected by cooling techniques and coolant types. Selection of proper cooling technique with suitable cutting fluids depends on work material, tool material and cutting variables.
