Abstract: Cutting Fluids are widely used in manufacturing industries as it is helpful to cool the tool and workpiece, to lubricate the chip-tool interface and to increase tool life. In this article different machining environments and different types of cutting fluids are reviewed. An attempt is made to summarize some important published research work on the effect of different machining environment on workpiece temperature and its hardness after machining, thrust force, average surface roughness and flank wear. Minimum quantity lubrication using Nano fluids is the recent technology to reduce the negative environmental impact of cutting fluid with increased thermal and tribological properties.
