The development of high cutting forces and high temperatures during grinding process requires the use of cutting fluids. The main function of cutting fluid is to reduce metal to metal contact and friction between them which results in less power required to revolve the work piece, less generation of heat and reduced wear of wheel. Minimum Quantity Lubrication is alternative method of applying atomized air oil mixture in grinding zone. This research study aims to investigate the effect minimum quantity lubrication parameters on the cooling and lubrication in the grinding process in order to design efficient minimum quantity lubrication system. The experiment was designed with Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. The process parameters were optimized using analysis of variance. In this study vegetable oils were found to be a replacement for high toxic cutting fluids because of their environmental friendly characteristics.
