“…In terms of product type, soluble oil-based MWFs are the most commonly used, followed by synthetic and semi-synthetic MWFs. The use of biodegradable MWFs is also on the rise due to increasing environmental concerns [21]. However, the MWFs industry has faced some challenges over the past 20 years, including stricter environmental regulations and increasing concerns over the health and safety of workers exposed to MWFs [19].…”

Vegetable oils have been used as metalworking fluids (MWFs) for many years, particularly in small-scale metalworking operations and in industries where environmental regulations are strict. Before the development of modern MWFs, vegetable oils were one of the most common lubricants used for metalworking tools. The use of vegetable oils can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, where olive oil was commonly used to lubricate metal tools and weapons. Today, vegetable oils are used as MWFs in a variety of applications. They are often combined with additives or nanoparticles to enhance their performance, such as improving the lubricity, cooling properties, and stability of the oil, as well as reducing friction and wear on the cutting tool. Additives, such as antioxidants, anti-wear agents, and extreme pressure (EP) additives, can be used to improve the performance of vegetable oils as cutting fluids. Compared to standard MWFs, vegetable oils are generally more biodegradable and environmentally friendly, and can be more cost-effective. However, MWFs may offer superior performance in certain areas, such as lubrication and cooling. Ultimately, the choice of MWFs will depend on the specific requirements of the metalworking operation and the balance between performance, cost, and environmental considerations. As the demand for sustainability and environmental responsibility continues, the use of vegetable oils as MWFs is likely to become even more popular in the future. Overall, vegetable oils offer a viable and potentially attractive alternative to standard MWFs in certain applications. This review highlights both conventional and most recent advances in vegetal oils frequently used as lubricant fluids in manufacturing processes.

Inconel 686 is a nickel-based superalloy widely used in important industries such as oil and gas, petrochemistry, and the manufacturing of equipment used in chemical processes. The inherent and unique characteristics of Inconel 686 categorize it as a difficult-to-cut material and expose its machining procedure to major challenges in terms of process efficiency and environmental issues. The new and optimized electrostatic minimum quantity lubrication (EMQL) method uses a biodegradable vegetable oil called Biocut 3600 to overcome the challenges and achieve cleaner production as well as improve the turning of Inconel 686. The results were compared based on MQL and wet methods. The effect of cutting speed and feed rate on a wide range of output parameters, including machining forces, residual stresses, surface roughness, surface defects, cutting zone temperature, and tool wear, was evaluated to assess the accuracy of the green EMQL method. The results indicated that the EMQL method improves the machining performance by resolving all environmental, manufacturing, and green manufacturing concerns compared to other cooling methods. The EMQL method positively affects surface integrity parameters and enhances the workpiece surface quality. From the production index perspective, the EMQL method can significantly increase the cutting speed and feed rate, which reduces the production time and costs.

This study aims to prepare mono and gemini nonionic emulsifiers differing in HLB to utilize in formulated metal cutting fluids. Also, the cationic gemini surfactant (GCS) was prepared and applied as a corrosion inhibitor and biocide in the formulations. FT-IR and NMR confirmed the chemical structure of the prepared compounds. Different oil package formulations were prepared by adding different trial concentrations of the additives (emulsifier, corrosion inhibitor, coupling agent, and biocide) to the eco-friendly vegetable oil (castor oil). Standard procedures were performed to assess the stability of the formulated base oil packages. Six Formulas demonstrated the greatest oil stability. Oil in water emulsions with varying formulated oil ratios (5–15 wt%) were prepared. A standard test was carried out to evaluate their performance as emulsion stability. It’s been demonstrated that Formulas II and V produced stable emulsions. The wettability alteration of formulas II and V on different metal surfaces was evaluated. The droplet size of formulated castor oil in water was determined via DLS. Corrosion test and tribological properties were also performed. The findings of this study indicate that Formula V is a good choice as a renewable addition for enhancing a variety of performance characteristics of the water-based cutting fluid.
