Several studies are being carried out to curtail the heat generated in machining. Among the various alternatives available, cutting fluids remain to be the choice. However, the various limitations of the cutting fluids restrict their application. Hence, different techniques are being explored to replace the use of cutting fluids, minimum quantity lubrication being one of them. This present article tries to review the available literature and examine nanofluids as potential candidates for minimum quantity lubrication.
