Analysis of Metal Performance in Minimum Lubrication Machining (MQL) Using Palm Oil, Recycled Palm Oil, Diesel and soluble oil

Abstract

Machining is a fundamental process in Ecuador's industrial sector, playing a key role both in the direct production of components and in secondary processes for the manufacturing of mechanical parts. Industries such as automotive, food processing, and plastics rely heavily on these processes. A critical aspect of machining is the management of heat generated during cutting operations, as this directly affects the tool's lifespan and the surface quality of the machined parts...
