Abstract
Cutting fluids have seen extensive use and have commonly been viewed as a required addition to high productivity and high quality machining operations. Cutting fluid related costs and health concerns associated with exposure to cutting fluid mist and a growing desire to achieve environmental sustainability in manufacturing have caused industry and academia to re-examine the role of these fluids and quantify their benefits. This work summarizes the traditional purposes of cutting fluids and reports on recent analytical and experimental research to critically examine these functions. To minimize or even eliminate the concerns associated with cutting fluid usage, several recent and novel approaches have been proposed and are examined.
