  • Abstract:
  • The Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) method has become increasingly popular as a sustainable alternative to conventional flood cooling in machining applications. MQL significantly reduces lubricant consumption by delivering small amounts of lubricant directly to the cutting interface, thereby minimizing environmental impact and improving operational efficiency. This paper provides a comprehensive review of MQL principles, benefits, applications, challenges, and recent technological advancements. A detailed analysis of key factors influencing MQL performance, including lubricant types, nozzle design, and machining parameters, is presented. The review also explores the role of MQL in high-performance applications, such as machining hard-to-cut materials, and identifies future research directions and industrial adoption trends.
