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.

In this paper MQLC turning process of steel St 50-2 is presented. Experimentations were performed using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array by varying two process parameters such as oil and water quantity while other parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were kept constant. Process responses that were analyzed in this paper are surface roughness Ra and resultant cutting force Frez. In order to quantify significance of each process parameter on analyzed response ANOVA was conducted. Fuzzy logic modelling technique was used to describe the effects of process parameters and to create response surface plots. Finally, in order to find out process parameters values that lead simultaneously to optimal surface roughness and resultant cutting force, multi-objective optimization of process responses was conducted by using grey relational analysis (GRA) combined with fuzzy logic technique.

“…Sarıkaya et al [21] investigated the influence of base fluid, hBN based nanofluid, MoS2 based nanofluid, graphite based nanofluid on turning super alloy, the results show that the increase rate of thermal conductivity coefficient compared with base cutting fluid was 11.90% for hBN-nanofluid, 16.29%, for MoS2-nanofluid and 14.12% for Gr-nanofluid. Saleem et al [22] compared the effect of sunflower oil and castor oil with dry cutting conditions on turning of super alloy. They found that the lesser adhered chip and tool noose wear were obtained under MQL conditions.…”

Titanium alloys have been widely used as an aerospace material owing to their excellent mechanical properties. However, ordinary tools can suffer from severe chip adhesion and surface abrasion when turning titanium alloys. To address these problems, micro-textured cutting tools have become a topic of significant research. Here, to improve the preparation process of textured tools, a novel tool prepared by an integrated molding process was proposed. The performance of this novel textured tool in terms of turning Ti-6Al-4V was investigated under dry conditions and minimal quantities of lubricant (MQL). Textured surfaces with four types of patterns and dimensions were used in the turning experiment to draw a comparison with traditional cutting tools. The results showed that the textured surface exhibited a uniform and smooth appearance with no obvious defects, indicating that the integrity of the textured surface was maintained. The combination of a micro-textured surface and the MQL method decreased the process temperature and cutting force. The narrower parallel type of textured tool exhibited the best performance. The process temperature reduced to 124 ℃ for the narrower parallel textured tool under MQL, decreasing by ~ 14.5% compared with the traditional tool; the lowest main cutting force and feed force were obtained for the narrower parallel textured tool, approximately 212 N and 171 N, respectively. Significant improvements in chip adhesion and tool wear were observed for the textured tool. Application of textured surface and MQL method are both decreased the adhesive scale layer area on the rake face of tools compared with ordinary tools.
