“…Cutting fluids assists in carrying away the heat produced and debris ejected during machining [2]. These aspects will help to diminish the tool wear and energy consumption during machining [3]. Cutting fluids improves the efficiency of machining process by enhancing tool life, surface finish of the workpiece, reducing cutting force and vibrations.…”

Vegetable oils are found as the feasible alternative for conventional minerals oils. There has been many environmental and health issues which are spotted with the use of conventional cutting fluids. There has been a great demand for developing new environmentally friendly vegetable based cutting fluids to reduce these harmful effects. In this present study, vegetable based kapok oil is used as a cutting fluid during milling to study its consequences over other conventional oils. The process parameters such as spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate were optimized with respect to the flank wear (Vb) and surface roughness (Ra) respectively with the use of central composite design in response surface methodology (RSM). Further an attempt has been made to monitor the tool condition by measuring the cutting force, vibration and sound pressure simultaneously. Three different tool conditions such as dull, fresh and working were analyzed and their consequences were also reported. Also, the performance of the kapok oil is compared with the palm oil and mineral oil (SAE 20W 40). The feed rate has the major contribution for surface roughness and flank wear. It is found that the cutting force (F), sound pressure (p) and vibration (V) increases with the tool wear.

“…They need a particular chemical treatment work before it is sent for dumping [5]. There is a need to develop a new cutting fluid, which should have good lubricating and cooling properties while conforming to biodegradability [6,7]. There were few studies on machining of turbine blade material using SiO 2 nanoparticles-based cutting fluid.…”

In the present scenario, metalworking fluids or cutting fluids are contributing a significant amount among the consumables used in the machining industry. Most of the industries use oil-based cutting fluids, which may cause skin and respiratoryrelated health issues to workers when they are exposed for longer hours. These limitations lead to developing non-oil-based novel cutting fluids to the industry. In this work, the biodegradability performance of newly developed cutting fluid was measured and compared with commonly used oil-based cutting fluid by the industries. Also, the performance of newly developed cutting fluid was investigated in the machining of AISI 420 stainless steel turbine blade material with an uncoated carbide tool. To circulate and recycle the developed cutting fluid at the machining zone, an experimental setup was developed. The developed cutting fluid performance was estimated over dry and oil-based cutting fluid environment conditions. The experiments were designed based on Taguchi L 27 orthogonal array while keeping the material removal rate as constant at 668 mm 3 s −1. The control factors were cutting environment, depth of cut, feed, and cutting speed. An optimal control parameter combination for minimal surface roughness of 0.31 μm, tool wear 18.7 μm, and temperature 178 °C was obtained. This study is expected to deliver a scientific path toward the novel development of non-oil-based cutting fluids for enhancing the machining quality and safety.

With increasing environmental concerns, the substitution of mineral oil-based cutting fluid has become an urgent issue. Using vegetable soybean oil as base fluid, nanofluid cutting fluids (NFCFs) were prepared by adding different weight concentrations of nanographite particles (NGPs), and their penetration and lubrication performances were studied. A novel simulated tool-chip slit with micrometer-sized geometry was manufactured to evaluate and quantify the penetration rate of the NFCFs by image analysis approach. Moreover, a large number of comparative experiments on the closed-type broaching machine were carried out to compare the performance of the proposed NFCFs and a commercial cutting fluid in terms of cutting force, workpiece surface roughness, and metal chip. It is found that there is an optimal NGP concentration in NFCF for practical cutting applications. When the concentration of NGP is 0.4 wt%, the broaching process lubrication exhibits an ideal mixed lubricate state, resulting in minimal friction resistance, and thus, both the cutting force and chip curling angle reach their corresponding best values. Moreover, the proposed NGP-based vegetable-oil cutting fluid exhibits excellent environment-friendliness and low-cost consumption in the minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) method; this demonstrates its potential for replacing the traditional broaching cutting fluid.
