Abstract

This article focuses on evaluating eco-friendly metalworking fluid (MF) strategies for sustainable turning of aerospace aluminum alloy Al7075-T6 using coated carbide tools. The study compares dry machining, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) with non-edible jatropha oil, Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT), and compressed air in terms of tool wear, cutting forces, surface roughness, chip morphology, micro-hardness, tool tip temperature, and energy consumption. Results indicate that MQL and RHVT significantly reduce tool tip temperature (up to 16%), tool wear (over 100%), cutting forces (17–21%), surface roughness (11–21%), and energy consumption compared to dry machining, with MQL showing the best overall performance. The research highlights the potential of these sustainable MF strategies to improve machining efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance chip recyclability in aerospace alloy manufacturing.
