In this article, an attempt has been made to explore the potential performance of Al2O3 nanoparticle–based cutting fluid in hard milling of hardened 60Si2Mn steel (50-52 HRC) under different minimum quantity lubrication conditions. The comparison of hard milling under minimum quantity lubrication conditions is done between pure cutting fluids and nanofluids (in terms of surface roughness, cutting force, tool wear, and tool life). Hard milling under minimum quantity lubrication conditions with nanofluid Al2O3 of 0.5% volume has shown superior results. The improvement in tool life almost 177%–230% (depending on the type of nanofluid) and the reduction in surface roughness and cutting forces almost 35%–60% have been observed under minimum quantity lubrication with Al2O3 nanofluids due to better tribological behavior as well as cooling and lubricating effects. The most outstanding result is that the uncoated cemented carbide insert can be effectively used in machining high-hardness steels (>50 HRC) while maintaining long tool life and good surface integrity (Ra = 0.08–0.35 µm; Rz = 0.5–2.0 µm, equivalent to finish grinding) rather than using the costlier tools like coated carbide, ceramic, and (P)CBN. Therefore, using hard nanoparticle–reinforced cutting fluid under minimum quantity lubrication conditions in practical manufacturing becomes very promising.

Given the increasing attention to environmental and health problems caused by machining, the development of an environmentally friendly grinding fluid has become an urgent task. The cooling and lubricating properties of different cooling and lubricating conditions were analyzed. The influence mechanism of nanofluids minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) on cooling and lubricating effect was revealed with different nanoparticles (MoS2, CNT, ZrO2) and different volume concentrations of MoS2 nanofluids (1%, 2%, 3%). The experimental results showed that the temperature rise (258 °C) and grinding force (Fn=70 N, Ft=27 N) obtained under NMQL grinding were the closest to the flood grinding. The specific grinding energy of MoS2 nanofluids was the lowest, which was 47 J/mm3. When the volume concentration was 2%, the best cooling and lubricating effect was obtained. The surface roughness of the workpiece was the lowest (Ra = 0.283 μm; Rz = 0.424 μm).

External thread turning is a complex 3-D process in which the cutting conditions vary over the thread cutter profile. There are a lot of factors that affect the thread precision. This paper focuses on the influences of the lubrication method, cutting speed and the number of passes on the thread precision. Several stainless steel turning tests were conducted. The results showed that lubrication method was the most important factor that affected the thread precision, while the number of passes was the least important one. MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) could reach the effect corresponding to wet cutting at specific cutting parameters and showed great potential to replace traditional lubrication method.
