A Comparative Sustainability Assessment of Cutting Fluids Usage in Band Sawing

Abstract Cutting fluids used in machining have received a lot of attention due to their adverse environmental and economic effects. Researchers studied cutting fluid usage traditional processes such as turning, facing, milling, etc. However, few studies focused on the band sawing applications. This study reports literature review sustainable aspects. A industrial data has shown that majority saw blades use high-speed steel tool material for metal. presents metric-based sustainability assessment detailed analysis recent factors cost through case studies. global survey bandsawing application industry is employing flood coolant application. The can be high 8% total consumables process.
