Book cover Towards Green Lubrication in Machining

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

Cutting fluids are widely used in most machining processes to produce superior surface finish and suppress tool wear. Due to the increasing cost associated with the procurement and disposal, and environmental issues of traditional cutting fluids, researches have been carried out to search for biodegradable lubricants and alternative lubrication methods to reduce the dependency on traditional cutting fluids. The growing demand for biodegradable lubricants has opened an avenue for using vegetable oils as alternative lubricants for machining. This chapter discusses the effectiveness of various types of biodegradable oils as lubricants and additives, and alternative lubrication methods such as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), mist lubrication and solid lubrication in machining processes.
