Development of Eco-Friendly Cutting Fluid for Machining of AISI 1010 Steel in Automotive Industry

In spite of better performance, the disposal used petroleum-based cutting fluids threatens our environment. Thus, it is essential to develop eco-friendly for performing machining operations in industries. The main contribution this paper an fluid plain turning AISI 1010 steel which automotive industry. present work, boric acid (H3BO3) was mixed with neem seed. Neem seed oil easily available many countries including India. effectiveness proposed evaluated by conducting different tests as per standards. mean biodegradability value developed 97% than other fluids. average force required only 127.2 N much less requirements dry and conventional surface roughness machined component using 122.9 µm. flank wear tool 289 flash point more 250 °C fire oil-based 300 °C. results stability test microhardness revealed obtained work are superior several reported existing literature. Hence, suggested replace metal industry Hosur,
