“…Thus, the authors concluded that MQL applications were considered more economical and environmentally advantageous in the milling of maraging 300 alloy over flooded machining. Naresh Babu et al [ 100 ] reported that AISI 304 steel end milling using MQL was able to reduce tool wear and surface roughness by 70% and 66% respectively compared to dry and flood lubrication as shown in Fig. 25 .…”

This paper reviews recent progress and applications of usage of cutting fluids in conventional machining processes. In addition to reviewing the various conventional and advanced cooling techniques during machining, the paper also discusses the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in several types on metals such as steel, aluminum, alloy, and titanium alloys. Due to the toxicity of conventional cutting fluid resulting in ecological problems, the demand for environmentally friendly cutting fluid is rising. Therefore, natural vegetable oil is chosen as potential replacement as an environmentally friendly cutting fluid which fulfills the important aspects of biodegradability and sustainability. Application of vegetable oil-based cutting fluids under MQL techniques are also discussed. Moreover, the potential of palm oil as biodegradable and environmentally friendly natural vegetable oil-based metal-working fluids in MQL are reviewed.

“…Hence, it can be assumed that less cutting forces were developed under MQL compared to dry micro-endmilling. This may be due to the fact that MQL enters deeper into the cutting zone which decreases the cutting temperature and friction [37].…”

The increased demand for smaller features leads to miniaturization of components in many areas such as aerospace, biomedical, and electronic industry. Since the tribological performance of the machined components is highly influenced by surface characteristics, the analysis of environmental-friendly lubrication techniques such as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) using vegetable oil is an important area of interest for the sustainable machining. MQL is a promising technique that minimizes the usage of lubricant, thus enhancing sustainability. This work aimed at studying the size effect and improvement in surface characteristics of sunflower oil-based MQL-assisted micro-endmilling of Inconel 718 with respect to dry machining. Chip analysis was also conducted to confirm the findings. Effects of feed/tooth on surface roughness, chip formation, top burr height, and top burr width for both dry and MQL conditions were studied. The size effect was found to be up to a feed/ tooth value near to the cutter edge radius (3 µm). Minimum uncut chip thickness was found to be near to 0.3 times the cutter edge radius. It was found that almost 32% average reduction in areal surface roughness, 36% average reduction in top burr width, and 37% average reduction in top burr height were observed for sunflower oil-based MQL-assisted micro-endmilling of Inconel 718 compared to dry condition. Finally, it was concluded that the application of sunflower oil-based MQL enables micro-endmilling of Inconel 718 for higher feed/tooth range with good surface quality.

“…The available literature includes many publications on determining machining forces, determining and modeling the state of the cutting process of high-alloy steels in terms of selecting process conditions, determining its state or analyzing load, tool wear [8,13,14,25] or tool damage [5]. Machining of alloy steels, due to its alloy components that are difficult to cut, is generally problematic and requires the use of wear-resistant tools; attempts are also made to carry out machining in conditions different from standard ones, for example dry or using MQL [7,12,17,18,20,23]. At the same time, work is being carried out on modifying the cutting edge geometry [1,11] or process modeling [21,24].…”

The article presents the results of works on the analysis of using cutting forces and torque to determine AISI 304 stainless steel milling process state. The research and analyzes were carried out for the determine tool state and the process state itself. The tests were performed using Sandvik milling head, equipped with 345R-1305M-PM 4230 inserts . This study presents and discusses the obtained results determining the resultant value of the minimum and maximum cutting forces and the tool life. The results of observations of the tool's condition were presented.
