Abstract

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) serves as an alternative to conventional cooling by reducing the volume of cutting fluid used in the machining process. The environment is also protected and possible health hazard for the machine operator. With MQL the machining cost can be minimize significantly. Conventional cutting fluid is especially used to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and work piece interface during machining process. The adverse health effects caused by the use of coolants. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a method between dry and flood cooling to ensure cooling lubrication effects. The objective of this paper is to review the state of the art in MQL with particular focus on turning, milling machining operation. At the end it is concluded that minimum quantity lubrication has better performance than dry machining in terms of surface roughness, tool life, tool wear, chip removal in the cutting zone.
