Manufacturing is an important part of the production industry and
different machining operations are frequently used in this process.
Depending on the material type and machining operation, cutting fluids
are often used in the manufacturing process to achieve the desired
geometric and dimensional limits in the interaction between the tool and
the workpiece or to increase the cutting tool’s life. However, in
recent years, the use of chemical fluids has attracted more attention
and has emerged as an environmental problem that needs to be solved. In
this study, researches on more environmentally friendly machining of
ceramic materials with different machinability properties than
traditional engineering materials are included. These researches consist
of two main parts. First, alternative applications for reducing the use
of cutting fluids in conventional machining methods, which are harmful
to the environment/human health and cause an additional serious burden
on machinability costs. The second one consists of the use of
non-conventional machining methods where the use of cutting fluids is
reduced or eliminated in ceramic structures that are difficult to be
machined by conventional methods. Thus, the study purposes to provide an
in-depth contribution to the current literature and to provide support
for industrial users to solve problems that may be encountered in
applications.
