| Abstract | Minimum quantity lubrication refers to the use of cutting fluids of only a minute amount-typically of a flow rate of 50 to 500 ml/hour-:-which is about three to four orders of magnitude lower than the amount commonly used in flood cooling condition, where, for example, up to 10 liters of fluid can be dispensed per minute. The concept of minimum quantity lubrication, sometimes referred to as near dry lubrication or micro lubrication, has been suggested since a decade ago as a means of addressing the issues of environmental intrusiveness and occupational hazards associated with the airborne culling fluid particles on factory shop floors. The minimization of cutting fluid also leads to economical benefits by way of saving lubricant costs and workpiece/tool/machine cleaning cycle time. Significant progress has been made in dry and semidry machining recently, and minimum quantity lubrication (Mal) machining in particular has been accepted as a successful semidry application because of its environmentally friendly characteristics. A number of studies have shown that Mal machining can show satisfactory performance in practical machining operations. However, there has been little investigation of the cutting fluids to be used in Mal machining. In this regard the proposed research work has been carried out with a view to study the effects of minimum quantity lubrication (Mal) by vegetable oil-based cutting fluid on the cutting performance of AISI |
