Can vegetable oils be used as cutting fluids in machining operations?
Vegetable oils as cutting fluids in machining operations seem to be well-established coolants/lubricants to enhance tool life on the one hand and to obtain the required di-mensional accuracy on the other. These vegetable oils, originally applied to turning, have been effectively used in drilling and are being investigated for grinding processes.
Does vegetable oil lubrication improve machining efficiency?
In contrast to mineral-oil-based cutting fluids and synthetic fluids, most of the authors found improvements in machining efficiency in vegetable-oil-based cutting fluids. The ideal lubrication was found to decrease frictional heat substantially.
Are vegetable cutting oils good for SS316 machining?
Rohit and Kuppa considered an investigation on two distinctive vegetable cutting oils produced from processed sunflower and rapeseed oils, and an industrial mineral machining fluid to establish the least surface roughness, cutting forces, and tool wear during turning of SS316.
Can vegetable oil be used as an alternate cutting fluid?
