Tighter environmental regulations require alternatives to minimize cutting fluid consumption during machining. Sustainable manufacturing is the current trend in dry machining and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). One of the objectives is to reduce the level of cutting fluids and manage machining temperature profiles. In this chapter, possible cutting fluids that are environmentally friendly were tested for sustainably machining aluminum alloys. MQL and dry conditions were compared on tool temperature, chip formation and tool wear. In turning, AA 2024 T3 alloy was applied at the cutting speeds of 350 and 450 m/min. During every turning experiment, feed rate and depth of cut were kept constant. The cutting fluid was soya bean oil in the MQL arrangement. Tool temperature and wear were lower with MQL and coated tools than with dry machining: MQL reduced cutting temperature by up to 15 percent. Under MQL, chips were fragmented, whereas continuous chips happened during dry machining. There was also much lower flank wear under MQL conditions than under dry machining conditions.
