Abstract
Green cutting fluids (GCF) offer a desirable alternative to conventional synthetic cutting fluid by mitigating the negative effects on the environment while offering similar performance. This study aims to replace all the mineral-based contents of cutting fluid with eco-friendly plant-based alternatives. GCFs (B01 to B07) were formulated with coconut oil base, cocamidopropylbetaine (CAPB) as emulsifying agent with garlic oil as an EP/anti-wear additive and almond oil as a corrosion inhibitor. Characterization of formulated GCFs was carried out using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) and DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). Thermo-analytical studies provide important insights into thermo-physical characteristics influencing cutting performance. DSC results indicate a minor dip in the pour point of formulated GCFs. An overall increase in density, thermal conductivity and flash point of GCFs was observed. B03 showed an increase of 26.42% in thermal conductivity in comparison with virgin coconut oil (CO). The maximum increase of 12.03% in flash point was observed in case of B04. Excellent thermal stability was demonstrated by B02, B03 and B04, while most stable emulsions were observed for B03. Formulated GCFs exhibited significant improvement in corrosion inhibition. Considering overall enhancement in the properties of the formulated GCFs, the findings position blends B02, B03 and B04 as promising cutting-fluid replacements with a potential performance enhancement.
