This research paper explores the integration of nanotechnology into Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) systems for enhancing machining processes. Nanotechnology offers a novel approach by incorporating nanoparticles into lubricants, thereby improving thermal management, reducing friction, and enhancing overall machining efficiency. The paper reviews recent advancements in nanofluid MQL across various machining operations such as milling, turning, grinding, and drilling, highlighting significant improvements in tool life, surface finish quality, and environmental sustainability. Key properties of nano-lubricants, including thermal conductivity, wettability, and tribological performance, are discussed in detail, emphasizing their critical role in mitigating tool wear and optimizing cutting conditions. It was also observed that nanofluid MQL method directly aids in improving the cooling and lubrication process during machining, which leads to increasing overall efficiency and process stability. In addition, the improved tribological properties reduce friction and wear between cutting instruments and workpieces during the nanofluid MQL process. Hence, nanofluid MQL systems become a viable alternative to traditional machining lubrication systems in a variety of applications. Furthermore, the future prospects of nanofluid MQL machining are explored, focusing on potential innovations and applications that could further revolutionize precision manufacturing. Ultimately, this paper underscores the transformative impact of nanofluid MQL on modern machining practices and its potential to drive sustainable technological advancements in the manufacturing industry.
