Abstract | The Metal Working Fluid (MWF), also known in the industry as a coolant, provides essential lubrication and cooling to the tool and workpiece, reducing friction and tool wear to enhance productivity and maintain the surface integrity of the part produced. It is predicted that the worldwide consumption of MWFs will reach 4 megatons by 2025 which is 10% (38 million tonnes) of the fuel for road vehicles in the UK. Still today, MWFs used in industry for machining use formulations that are derived from fossil fuel and disposal generates a high waste stream that is incinerated. To quicken the pace to decarbonize manufacturing, this paper used lab-based evidence to demonstrate that cleaner biobased MWFs can deliver at least equivalent performance to modern fossil fuel MWFs for hard alloy machining. |
