A review on environmental friendly cutting fluids and coolant delivery techniques in grinding

Abstract

Grinding is a very high-speed machining process, specifically, it is complex and often fails to achieve the accuracy, coolants are necessary for grinding to achieve the desired production rates. Coolant disposal is a serious issue since it poses a risk to the environment and land pollution. To reduce the friction and of frictional heating during grinding, suitable coolants and lubrication systems should be used, therefore, many approaches to eco-friendly coolant delivery techniques are been illustrated. Continuous long-term scientific research is needed toward green machining. “Go green, think green, and act green” statement should be followed in the industry during production and manufacturing. This literature survey was needed because it highlights previous and present research work on eco-friendly fluid delivery techniques, also the study explained how important this method will play in considering the future environment and workers’ health.
