This paper presents two basic experimental studies of a micro-drilling process with nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in terms of machining and environmental characteristics. By using a miniaturized desktop machine tool system, a series of micro drilling experiments were conducted in the cases of dry, compressed air and nanofluid MQL. The experimental results imply that nanofluid MQL significantly reduces the adhesion of chips when compared with the cases of dry and compressed air micro-drilling. As a result, it is observed that the magnitudes of average drilling torque and thrust force are decreased and the tool life of micro drills is extended in the case of nanofluid MQL micro-drilling process. In addition, the empirical study on environmental characteristics of MQL micro-drilling process is conducted by measuring MQL oil mist with the oil sampling method. The results show that remaining MQL oil mist is tiny enough not to have a detrimental effect on human health.

Stricter environmental regulations are making the use of an ample amount of conventional coolant impossible because of its negative impact on the environment. Consequently, the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has been regarded as an promising alternative to conventional fluid coolant applications. Despite several studies, there have been a few investigations about the influence of the MQL nozzle position, such as distance from tool-workpiece contact zone, elevation angles, the included angle between jet direction and feed direction. The current study presents experimental investigations on influences of the above parameters on performance in end milling. Tool wear and surface roughness are experimentally studied to compare the effects of different positions. The results show that the setting location of the nozzle is an important factor regarding the effective application of MQL oil mist.
