Abstract

Vegetable oils are being investigated as a potential source of environmental favorable lubricants, due to high biodegradability, renewability and good lubrication properties. The objective of this work is to determine the influence of vegetable oil based cutting fluids (sesame and coconut oil) with extreme pressure (EP) additive on machining performance in terms of cutting forces, cutting tool temperature, tool flank wear and surface roughness during turning of AISI 1040 steel with coated carbide tool. Machining performance of vegetable oil based cutting fluids (VBCFs) with EP additive is compared with conventional cutting fluids and VBCFs without EP additive. The results indicated that coconut oil with EP additive improved machining performance by reducing cutting forces, cutting tool temperature, tool flank wear and surface roughness compared to other lubrication conditions.
