        abstract = {Friction and wear are essential tribological processes that directly affect the life, machining precision, energy usage and total productivity used in manufacturing processes. The review will offer an in depth study of frictional interactions and dominant wear mechanisms that take place at the tools-chip and tools-workpiece interfaces during metal cutting. The experiment generalizes the results of a broad selection of materials of the tools, surfaces, lubrication methods and machining conditions. Disproportionate attention is given to adhesive, abrasive, diffusion, and oxidative wear mechanisms and their behavior with respect to cutting temperature, stress distribution, work material properties, and tool geometry. Recent developments in surface engineering which include multilayer nanocomposite coatings, DLC coatings, plasma nitriding and laser texturing- are pointed out as effective in friction reduction and wear resistance. Also, new cooling and lubrication methods such as cryogenic machining, nanofluid-assisted MQL, and hybrid cooling systems have been mentioned with regard to their role in sustainable machining. Computation modelling techniques such as FEM and molecular dynamics analysis are also discussed due to their emergent application in the prediction of frictional behaviour and tool degradation. On the whole, the given review determines the main technological advances, current shortcomings, and the prospective research areas that should be addressed to improve the performance of tools used in contemporary high-speed and precision machining.},
