Abstract
Cutting fluids are most fundamental and important part in metalworking industries. Cutting fluids are widely employed due to their ability to reduce friction, cutting temperature, generated heatand also to enhance workpiece surface quality. But the use of the petroleum based cutting fluid threats to the health of workers and environment. Hence to identify user-friendly and eco-friendly alternatives for conventional petroleum based cutting fluids, industrialist and researchers are working hand in hand. Based on the increasing awareness regarding environmental aspects and awareness to employee health, eco-friendly cutting fluids have to be selected very carefully to minimize the same. This paper is focused on review of composition, physico-chemical properties, advantages, applications and practical use of individual vegetable oils as metal working fluid in environmental conscious machining to make the process environmental friendly and less toxic for operators.
