Machining with Minimum Quantity Lubrication and Nano-Fluid MQL: A Review

抄録

Machining processes hold a pivotal place in the sphere of modern manufacturing. Thus, constant advancements to enhance their efficiency and sustainability are warranted. This review paper discusses the recent advancements in machining with Minimum Quantity Lubrication and a combination of Nano-Fluids with Minimum quantity lubrication (Nano-Fluid MQL). Recent developments are assessed with particular emphasis on critical parameters such as cutting temperatures, tool wear, and surface quality. In addition, the environmental and economic aspects of using MQL in combination with nano-fluids are discussed. This combinatory approach is evaluated as a sustainable solution in machining. This paper also presents the literature survey of nano-fluids and the application of nano-fluids in MQL.
