A Review on Study and Analysis of Minimum Quantity Lubricant by Using Natural Oils

Abstract

In the present study it has been observed that, the manufacturing industries and metal industries using the cutting fluids has become more problematic in terms of workers health and environmental pollution. To obtain safe, environmental and economical benefits of machining, the research has been carrying out to reduce the use of cutting fluid during machining. One of the alternatives to dry and flooded machining is Minimum Quantity Lubrication from the point of cost, ecology and human health issues. From Analysis of Means, it is found MQL and high stainless steel tool shown in better performance on reduction of tool wear rate and metal removal rate. From the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), it is found that the cutting speed has more influence in optimizing the tool wear rate and metal removal rate. This review paper present the effects of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) by vegetable oils based on the lathe performance of low alloy steel as compared to completely dry and wet machining in terms of metal removal rate, temperature
