The use of conventional cutting fluid in metal cutting may increase total production cost and
also a threat to the environment and health of the operator. Thus, sustainable and cost-
effective measures are to be envisaged to overcome the ill effects of conventional cutting
fluids. In this regard, the current study aims to develop an experimental setup for solid
lubricant assisted minimum quantity lubrication during machining of Inconel 718. PVD and
CVD coated tools are employed for the machining under dry, flood cooling, MQL, and solid …
