Machining process is an important and proven among the all manufacturing processes in product based industries. For effective execution of machining process, cutting fluids plays a pivotal role in reducing machining cycle time as well as machining cost. In this study, a review of the significance of machining process along with application of nanofluids as a cutting fluids has been explored. To attain these objectives, machining process output parameters like cutting force, surface roughness, tool-work piece interface temperature, tool wear and effects on environmental conditions were examined. With this, few cases of employing nanofluids in machining process operations stated in detail. In this paper, a summary table related to various vital specifications was mentioned, such as type of nanoparticle, cutting tool used, type of work material & machining processes (turning, milling, drilling and grinding). On a prima facie This study discussed the importance of application of nanofluids for optimal consumption in various machining processes.
