Purpose Because many cutting fluids contain hazardous chemical constituents, industries and researchers are looking for alternative methods to reduce the consumption of cutting fluids in machining operations due to growing awareness of ecological and health issues, government strict environmental regulations and economic pressures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to raise awareness of the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique as a potential substitute for environmental restricted wet (flooded) machining situations. Design/methodology/approach The methodology adopted for conducting a review in this study includes four sections: establishment of MQL technique and review of MQL machining performance comparison with dry and wet (flooded) environments; analysis of the past literature to examine MQL turning performance under mono nanofluids (M-NF); MQL turning performance evaluation under hybrid nanofluids (H-NF); and MQL milling, drilling and grinding performance assessment under M-NF and H-NF. Findings From the extensive review, it has been found that MQL results in lower cutting zone temperature, reduction in cutting forces, enhanced tool life and better machined surface quality compared to dry and wet cutting conditions. Also, MQL under H-NF discloses notably improved tribo-performance due to the synergistic effect caused by the physical encapsulation of spherical nanoparticles between the nanosheets of lamellar structured nanoparticles when compared with M-NF. The findings of this study recommend that MQL with nanofluids can replace dry and flood lubrication conditions for superior machining performance. Practical implications Machining under the MQL regime provides a dry, clean, healthy and pollution-free working area, thereby resulting the machining of materials green and environmentally friendly. Originality/value This paper describes the suitability of MQL for different machining operations using M-NF and H-NF.

“…Compared with the approach for flood, the high-speed atomized droplets in MQL increase the penetration depth of the biolubricant. The excellent lubrication performance of the biolubricant can be explained by its own unique physicochemical properties [175,176]. The polar groups in the biolubricant have strong adsorption properties in the cutting zone, and the droplets entering the cutting zone have strong physical and chemical adsorption with the tool and workpiece.…”

“…Tool life has a significant impact on the economy and efficiency of the material removal machining, and flank wear is usually the main criterion used to judge the quality of the tool material [175,193]. Machined surface integrity is the most important indicator of machinability, and it is the result of the combined effects of tribological and heat transfer properties during machining [59].…”

Metal cutting fluids in flood condition does not meet the urgent needs of emission cutting and carbon reduction, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is an effective alternative to flood lubrication. Nevertheless, the micro-droplets produced by pneumatic atomization MQL have poor infiltration and wetting properties, which cannot fully exert the film-forming and heat transfer performance of lubricant. The unique empowering mechanism of electrostatic atomization can not only solve the above technical bottleneck, but also realize parametric control of the droplets. Previously, the improvement of tool wear and surface integrity of electrostatic atomization have been preliminarily verified by experimental studies. However, the application principle of electrostatic atomization in the manufacturing process is ambiguous, which limits its further development and industrial application. Especially the in-depth understanding of the action mechanism of the high temperature and high pressure contact interface is difficult and meaningful. More importantly, electrostatic atomization-assisted MQL machining has not been systematically reviewed. In this review, firstly, an analysis of the critical devices, common media (nano-biolubricants) and empowering mechanisms is presented. Subsequently, the excellent machining performance of nano-biolubricants was quantitatively evaluated by comparing with flood, revealing its advanced lubrication and heat transfer mechanism. Furtherly, the excellent machining performance was assessed based on the enhanced penetration, infiltration and film formation properties of electrostatic atomization, with a 42.4% reduction in tool wear and a 47% improvement in machined surface Ra compared to pneumatic atomization. Finally, the limitations of current electrostatic atomization and green lubrication technologies are analyzed and the future trends (e.g. new processes and multi-process coupling) are foreseen. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review and critical assessment of the existing understanding, which can be used by scientists to gain insight into the mechanism of action, the theoretical basis, machining performance and development direction of new electrostatic atomization processes.

“…The study suggested that palm oil presents the advantages of reducing the coefficient of friction, specific energy, and surface roughness. Pal et al [47], using vegetable oil added with different nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 , MoS 2 , SiO 2 , CuO, and Graphene) in MQL bottom drilling compared to flooded and dry machining, reported that the MQL strategy with Al 2 O 3 mixture had the best drilling performance compared to others, especially on the thrust, torque, Ra, drill tip temperature, tool wear by forming a good tribofilm. Virdi et al [48] explored the machining process of MQL drilling using vegetable oil with various concentrations of CuO nanoparticles and compared the results with flooded and dry cutting.…”

Nano-cutting fluid sprayed using the minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) method is one example of a green manufacturing process. Meanwhile, vegetable oil is an appropriate lubricating base oil as it offers very high lubricating performance and environmental friendliness. Further, CaCO₃ nanoparticles are popular for their capacity to improve lubrication properties and performance. However, the optimum impact of utilizing different types of vegetable oil remains inadequately investigated. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of CaCO₃ nanoparticles on the performance of cutting fluid, specifically on the thermophysical, rheological, and tribological properties in the CNC milling process of AISI 1045 Steel material. The nano-cutting fluid was prepared using different vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean) added with CaCO₃ nanoparticles with a mass concentration of 0.15%. The results showed that the thermophysical properties, including density and viscosity, were highest when using canola oil, and the addition of CaCO₃ to all samples did not significantly affect thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, for the rheological properties, we observed Newtonian for all cutting fluid samples. For tribological properties, canola, and corn oil were better for obtaining a minimum Ra value, while soyabean oil was more effective in reducing cutting temperature. Based on the results of tool wear calculations, each oil presents the best performance in reducing wear, especially with the addition of CaCO₃. For chip formation, on average, the samples produce irregular tooth morphology with C-type, comma, and elongation shapes. Meanwhile, the resulting chip color was dark purple, which changed to dark brown and light brown, then turned silvery white due to wear and tear on the different sides of the chisel.
