Cryogenic cooling in sustainable machining: current status and future outlook Javvadi Eswara Manikanta, Nitin Ambhore, Chitrada Prasad, Amol Dhumal, Gopala Rao Thellaputta Journal of Engineering and Applied Science, 2026 The current research focuses mainly on the manufacturing industries in terms of energy savings and cleaner production in order to impart sustainability. The use of conventional cutting fluid is not beneficial for high cutting speeds and feeds, as it can lead to increased tool wear and reduced machining efficiency. In addition, such cutting fluid contaminates the atmosphere in high-production machining, leading to environmental concerns and potential health risks for workers exposed to these harmful substances, such as respiratory issues and skin irritations from prolonged exposure to the chemicals present in the fluid. Cryogenic cooling is useful in lowering the high-flow cutting temperatures, which increases the quality of the workpiece and tool life. This review comprehensively analyses the relevant literature on cryogenic cooling in various machining processes. It provides a review and summary of cryogenic cooling, analyzes and evaluates benefits and developmental challenges in each area, and outlines the future developmental directions of cryogenic cooling. These cooling techniques are found to enhance the sustainability of machining processes and production as a whole, particularly by reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste generated during manufacturing. This study aims to develop new strategies for the research and development of cryogenic cooling technology in machining industries.
Analysis and optimization of low-cost compression molding process for manufacture of particulate bone powder PLA composites Santha Rao Dakarapu, Praveena Chakravarthy Maddili, Javvadi Eswara Manikanta, Nitin Ambhore, Attila Szántó, Timotei István Erdei Discover Materials, 2026 Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a bio-based polymer gaining attracted for the fabrication of composite materials. This research examines the mechanical characteristics of biodegradable PLA composites reinforced with animal bone particles through the compression molding technique. The reinforcement of animal bone powder was varied from 5% to 20% wt, and the variables of molding parameters of dwell time, die temperature, and pressure. The experiments are carried out using Design of Experiments (DOE). The hardness, tensile, and flexural properties have been evaluated. The finding reported that the incorporation of animal bone powder leads to an enhancement in mechanical properties. The tensile strength of PLA composite was improved by 19.26% to neat PLA samples under similar process parameters. The Hardness of the composite was improved by 24.39% when compared to neat PLA samples. The flexural strength of composites was improved by 15% to the neat PLA samples. Composites containing higher weight percentages of fillers demonstrated increased stiffness and strength, albeit with a reduction in ductility. The process parameters of compression molding were optimized using Taguchi analysis for higher tensile strength. The findings suggest that the inclusion of reinforcement plays a role in enhancing the mechanical performance of composites. In addition, SEM analysis confirmed the particle was well-dispersed, contributing properties enhancement.
Analysis of machining performance in turning with trihybrid nanofluids and minimum quantity lubrication Javvadi Eswara Manikanta, Masuk Abdullah, Nitin Ambhore, Tarun Kumar Kotteda Scientific Reports, 2025 Mono-type and dihybrid nanoparticle-enriched cutting fluids in machining processes are gaining popularity because of their outstanding benefits such as enhanced tool life and surface finish. In this work, a trihybrid nanocutting fluid was developed by mixing MWCNT Al2O3 graphene nanoparticles with different weight concentrations. The prepared tri-hybrid nanofluids were tested during the machining of SS304 steel. Coated tungsten carbide and PVD TiAlN carbide tools are used for the machining. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to analysed the obtained data. ANOVA revealed that the interaction of cutting speed and feed had shown a good impact on surface roughness. The combinations of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and tri-hybrid nanofluid characteristics increase surface quality by 16% and the cutting temperature by 76%, respectively, which offers future applications in the machining industry. The correlations are verified using a conformance test and have acceptable variances of 3.11% and 1.13% with the ANN approach regression analysis.
Machining performance evaluation of eco-friendly copper oxide-based nanofluids in turning operations , Javvadi Eswara Manikanta, Nitin Ambhore, , Krishna Birudugadda Murthy, , Gopala Rao Thellaputta, , Devendra Agrawal, and Obrabotka Metallov, 2025 Introduction. There is a growing demand for eco-friendly cutting fluids in machining due to their non-toxicity, sustainability, high performance, and ability to improve surface quality. These fluids support green manufacturing practices and promote a safe working environment. Copper oxide-based nanofluids offer the combined benefits of enhanced heat transfer, increased safety, and reduced tool wear and cutting forces. The purpose of the work. This research focuses on evaluating the performance of copper oxide-based cutting fluids in turning processes to support sustainable and eco-conscious manufacturing. The study investigates the turning of SS 304 steel using varying concentrations of copper oxide nanofluids. The methods of investigation. In this study, the turning process was tested under various machining conditions using different concentrations of copper oxide nanoparticles (0.3 %, 0.6 %, 0.9 %, 1.2 %, and 1.5 %). Corn oil was selected as the base oil, and the copper oxide nanoparticles were dispersed in the corn oil to prepare the nanofluid. Machining trials were conducted under different lubrication environments: dry, wet, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), and nano-enhanced MQL (nMQL). A comparative study was performed to assess cutting temperature and cutting forces. Results and discussion. The results showed that the use of 1.2 % copper oxide nanofluid led to significant reductions in cutting force and cutting temperature, by approximately 17.54 % and 29.53 %, respectively, compared to traditional dry and wet machining environments. Furthermore, the nanofluid was observed to form a protective film at the tool-workpiece interface, reducing tool wear. These findings highlight the potential of copper oxide-based green cutting fluids to improve turning operation efficiency and promote environmentally sustainable practices.

It goes on to examine the evolution of the processes and provides useful recommendations on future strategies that will enhance elastomer printability, to assist researchers and practitioners in the industry in identifying new and creative applications of additive manufacturing.
Sustainable machining: enhancing performance with vegetable oil-based nano cutting fluids Javvadi Eswara Manikanta, Nitin Ambhore, Chetan Nikhare, Naveen Kumar Gurajala, Hari Krishna Ch. Discover Materials, 2025 The environmentally friendly cutting fluids in machining is now attractive due to both environmental and health problem, as well as the growing demand for sustainable manufacturing. The study evaluates the technical feasibility of utilizing biodegradable natural vegetable oil infused with graphene nanoparticles as a cutting fluid for turning SS 304 steel. The Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) method was employed in the assessment. Corn oil was chosen as the edible vegetable oil, and different volume percentages (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%) of nanoparticles were mixed to prepare nanofluids. To provide a basis for comparison, a commercial cutting fluid was used under the same MQL technique, along with a dry condition as a benchmark. To measure the lubri-cooling capacity and physical and chemical properties of the fluids, specific tests were conducted. The experimental results showed corn oil with 2.5% graphene demonstrated promising results. Cutting force initially increases and then gradually decreases as percentage Graphene increases. With 2.5% graphene showing optimal performance in reducing friction, improving heat dissipation, and minimizing tool wear.
