"Extreme heat and friction are generated in machining difficult-to-cut metals used in aerospace and nuclear industries leading to poor machinability (high cutting forces, rapid tool wear, shorter tool life, and poor surface integrity). Conventional flood coolant (CEC) used in industry is environmentally unfriendly, hazardous to operators, and unsustainable. These problems motivated this research, which can be mitigated with the use of effective biodegradable cutting fluids, appropriate cutting conditions, and lubrication/cooling strategies. This research provides a sustainable and environmentally friendly replacement to CEC. Firstly, the research characterized three vegetable oils (High Oleic Soybean Oil (HOSO), Low Oleic Soybean Oil (LOSO), and …
