Performance Evaluation of Modified Coconut Oil in Machining

Abstract

newline quotSince 1990 s vegetable oils used as a cutting fluids in various machining newlineoperations. Among which coconut oil is widely used for metal cutting applications newlinebecause of its high natural properties compared to other vegetable oils. However, from newlinenegative side the major hindrances for extensive utilization of coconut oil compared to newlinemineral oils for various metal cutting operations are it s high pour point, low oxidation newlineand thermal stability therefore the present work aims at systematic modification of newlinecoconut oil through various methods for making it as a extensively utilized industrial newlinelubricating oil.quot newline
