Conclusion

[55]

Rapeseed oil

Graphene nanosheets

Ti-6Al-4 V-ELI

Cutting force

Compared with the traditional casting machining with synthetic cutting fluid, the MQL of rapeseed oil with 1.5 wt% graphene reduced Fn and Ft by 22.1% and 33.8%, respectively.

[200]

Cottonseed oil

Al2O3

Aviation aluminum 7075

Cutting force

The cutting force of cottonseed oil minimum quality lubrication machining is 19.2% lower than that of dry machining, while the cutting force of vegetable oil minimum quality lubrication machining with nano particles is further reduced.

[201]

Vegetable oil

MoS2, CNT

GH4169 Nickel-based alloy

Cutting force

The best MoS2/CNT mixing ratio and nanofluid concentration were 2:1 and 6 wt%, respectively. The friction coefficient is 15.32% and 8.79% lower than that of pure MoS2 and pure CNT, respectively.

[204]

Palm oil

MoS2, ZrO2, CNT, Polycrystalline diamond, Al2O3, SiO2

GH4169 Nickel-based alloy

Cutting temperature

CNT nanoparticles have the highest thermal conductivity (3000 W/(m·K)) among the six kinds of nanoparticles, and show the best cooling performance.

[205]

Palm oil

CNT

45 steel, nickel base alloy, ductile iron

Cutting temperature

The grinding temperature of 45 steel is the highest (363.9 ℃), while that of ductile iron is the lowest (143.2 ℃), and that of nickel base alloy is 245.7 ℃.

[206]

Coconut oil, SAE-40

Nano boric acid suspension

AISI 1040

Cutting temperature, tool wear

Compared with SAE-40 lubricant, the cutting temperature of the solid lubricant containing 0.5% nano boric acid particles in coconut oil decreases by approximately 21% under the combined action of the solid lubricant. In addition, the 0.5% nano boric acid particle suspension in coconut oil has the least side wear.

[207]

Ester lubricating oil

hBN nanoparticles

Inconel 625

Tool wear

Compared with pure MQL, the tool wear and tool life with 1% hBN nanoparticles MQL are improved by approximately 20% and 24%, respectively.

[208]

Rapeseed oil

MoS2, ZrO2, CNT

Hardened Steel 45

Surface quality

It is observed that MoS2 has the best surface quality. Some substances are accumulated in carbon nanotubes (CNT) and ZrO2. In addition, the surface texture gap and wave crest height are large.

[209]

Paraffin oil, sunflower oil

MoS2, graphite, Al2O3

Tungsten carbide (WC) grade

YG8

Surface quality

MoS2 and graphite nanoparticles can reduce the roughness values in both cutting directions. However, the addition of Al2O3 will increase the roughness values in all grinding directions.

[211]

Palm oil, liquid paraffin

MoS2

45 steel

Surface quality

When paraffin and palm oil liquids were milled with 2% nano particle jet MQL, compared with the MQL of paraffin oil and palm oil liquids without nano particles, Ra decreased by 25% and 30%, Rz decreased by 15.4% and 23.7%, respectively.
