Abstract

Health problems, higher costs, environmental concerns, and stringent environmental regulatory standards all necessitate limiting the operator’s exposure to mineral oil-based cutting fluid. In industries, an incalculable amount of coolant is used every day, increasing the risk of respiratory and skin disorders. However, the usage of coolant is unavoidable due to the increasing need for productivity and job necessities. Many efforts are being undertaken to improve machining performance. Various cooling strategies are utilized in machining processes. Diverse sustainable solutions are developed in an effort to get the highest possible cutting fluid efficiency with the smallest possible amount. Among these are MQL, vegetable oils, nanofluid, iconic liquid, vapor coating, cryogenic machining, air cooling, heat pipe etc. This paper gives an in-depth look at all of the cooling and lubrication systems that are currently used and how they affect performance parameters like the surface superiority, tool wear, temperature, machining forces, etc. In addition, the research needs for future studies are identified. It is evident from the study that cooling procedures and coolant types have a considerable impact on machine performance.
