The application of metal cutting fluids is an integral part of industrial machining operations. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is the latest form of cutting fluid application method currently used by several manufacturing organizations. This book consolidates all the available knowledge in terms of the application of different processes as well as materials in a concise fashion in one reference resource. Sustainable Machining Using MQL Application of Cutting Fluids offers a detailed discussion of the MQL mechanism in cutting fluid applications. It highlights the influence of MQL parameters on different workpiece materials and provides sound explanations along with photographs for all technical reasonings. The book presents the usage of both micro and nano cutting fluids in machining for sustainability while it also captures the knowledge in the field including the recent research outputs, as it illustrates a comprehensive coverage of MQL practical application. This book should be on the bookshelf of industrial engineers, those working in production and manufacturing, process designers, tool material designers, cutting tool designers, and quality specialists. Researchers, senior undergraduate students, and graduate students will also find this book full of very helpful reference information.

Non-renewable materials can no longer be disposed once humankind's ever increasing needs cannot be fulfilled anymore due to limited resources. Reuse and recycling become inevitable requirements for product and process design. Renewable resources must not be consumed in quantities higher than can be regained. New technologies have to be developed and applied for a Sustainable Product Development and Life Cycle Engineering to fulfill the needs of humankind, protecting public health, welfare, and environment. The 8th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing brings together some of the world’s leading experts to present a scientific conference in Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s fastest growing economies and a global leader in the development of sustainable technologies. The conference will focus on 7 areas: Value adding by sustainable manufacturing in the UAE Potentials of renewables Education for sustainability engineering Green supply chain and transportation Microelectronics and resource efficiency Technology driven startups Sustainable products and manufacturing processes
