The substitution of biolubricant for mineral cutting fluids in aerospace material grinding is an inevitable development direction, under the requirements of the worldwide carbon emission strategy. However, serious tool wear and workpiece damage in difficult-to-machine material grinding challenges the availability of using biolubricants via minimum quantity lubrication. The primary cause for this condition is the unknown and complex influencing mechanisms of the biolubricant physicochemical properties on grindability. This review provides a comparative assessment of grindability is performed using aerospace material. Firstly, this work considers the physicochemical properties as the main factors, and the antifriction and heat dissipation behaviors of biolubricant in a high temperature and pressure interface are comprehensively analyzed. Secondly, the comparative assessment of force, temperature, wheel wear and workpiece surface for difficult-to-machine material confirms that biolubricant is a potential replacement of traditional cutting fluids. Finally, the current challenges and potential methods are proposed to promote the application of biolubricant.[展开] ...
