“…The application of rapeseed oil in MQL as well as MQCL set-up turns out to be the most viable alternative at less speed and feed. Khunt et al [29] demonstrated the efficiency evaluation of vegetable-based drilling aluminium alloy with MQL. The drilling tests were conducted in a variety of cutting environments, including dry, MQL, and flood cooling application of castor oil, and MQL application of sunflower oil, with an uncoated high-speed steel twist drill.…”

This study is focused on the performance evaluation of three cutting lubricants, which are neem, palm kernel and mineral oil in the turning of AISI 1045 with MQL. Optimization of machining parameters with multi-response signals using Taguchi-based grey relational analysis was done. For experimental design, tests were developed using Taguchi's L 9 orthogonal array and the signal-to-noise ratio was obtained using the smaller-the-better approach to achieve the optimal combination. Performance indicators including surface roughness and cutting temperature were measured throughout the machining process. Neem oil performed best among the oils for surface roughness while mineral oil outperformed them all for cutting temperature, according to the experimental results. The optimum spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut for neem, palm kernel and mineral oils are 870 rev/min, 0.25 mm/rev and 1.25 mm; 870 rev/min, 0.10 mm/rev and 0.75 mm; and 415 rev/min, 0.10 mm/rev and 1.00 mm, respectively.

“…Another study conducted by Maruda et al (2015) also claimed up to 80% reduction in machined surface roughness parameters under minimum quantity cooling lubrication application with emulsion mist using phosphate esters O4A-LQ-(MH)- and crodafos EHA-LQ-(MN)-based modifiers during machining of stainless steel X10CrNi18-8 as compared to compressed air cooling and dry machining conditions. Khunt et al (2021) observed lesser cutting forces and enhanced surface finish under MQL machining of aluminum – 6063 alloy when compared with conventional cooling methods. Saleem and Mehmood (2022) noticed that MQL machining of Inconel 718 enhanced tool life and surface quality by 26% and 52.09%, respectively, when compared with dry machining.…”

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.

“…Castor oil extracted from Castor seeds consists of a mixture of triglycerides enabling it to be used as a lubricating cutting fluid. So, researchers conducted Castor oil assisted drilling operation on rectangular blocks of Al 6063 alloy [108]. The drilling operation was conducted on a manual drilling machine at constant FR, and various speeds are shown in Table 4.…”

The use of cutting fluids has played a vital role in machining operations in lubrication and cooling. Most cutting fluids are mineral oil-based products that are hazardous to the environment and the worker, cause severe diseases and pollute the environment. In addition, petroleum resources are becoming increasingly unsustainable. Due to environmental and health issues, legislations have been established to ensure that the consumption of mineral oil is reduced. Consequently, researchers are making efforts to replace these mineral oil-based products. Vegetable oils are grasping attention due to their better lubricating properties, ease of availability, biodegradability, low prices, and non-toxicity. In this study, a detailed review and critical analysis are conducted of the research works involving vegetable oils as cutting fluids keeping in view the shortcomings and possible solutions to overcome these drawbacks. The purpose of the review is to emphasise the benefits of vegetable oil-based cutting fluids exhibiting comparable performance to that of mineral oil-based products. In addition, an appropriate selection of non-edible vegetable oil-based cutting fluids along with optimum cutting parameters to avoid a scanty supply of edible oils is also discussed. According to this research, vegetable oils are capable of substituting synthetic cutting fluids, and this option might aid in the successful and cost-efficient implementation of green machining.
