A State-of-the-Art Review on Recently Developed Sustainable and Green Cooling/Lubrication Technologies in Machining Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs)

Abstract Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are lightweight, hard materials applied in heavy-duty applications such as automobile, aerospace, and electronics, well sports equipment. MMCs reveal exceptional physical mechanical properties, including high strength, corrosion, wear resistance, higher stiffness, toughness. However, owing to poor surface finish, accelerated tool wear, material removal cost, categorized difficult-to-cut composites. This article reviews sustainable machining under different lubrication cooling approaches the economics of operation for MMCs. The study focuses on optimizing machinability factors, integrity, chip formation, sustainability analysis. To attain this goal, review evaluates suitable cutting parameters Aluminum, Titanium, Magnesium, Copper-based metal composites, which hitherto have not been explored or summarized comprehensively. provides strong guidance regarding selection precise findings suggest that cooling/lubrication technologies can optimize improve characteristics, extend life quality, during operation.
