Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) Machining for Complex Powertrain Components
Manufacturing Science and Engineering, Parts A and B, 2006Near Dry or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) Machining eliminates conventional flood coolant from the machining processes. In doing so, MQL reduces oil mist generation, biological contamination of coolant, waste water volume, costs for capital equipment and regulatory permitting.

In dry grinding, as there is no coolant lubricant to transfer the heat from the contact zone, generation of surface damages are not preventable. Promising alternatives to conventional flood coolant applications are also Minimum Quantity Lubricant (MQL) or Near Dry Machining (NDM) or Semi Dry Machining (SDM).
