Cutting fluids provide cooling at the cutting tool and on the surface of work piece, lubricate the tool-workpiece interface and evacuate chips from the cutting zone in the machining processes. The primary reason for using cutting fluid is to reduce the temperature at cutting zone and friction wear either through cooling or lubrication. To maximize the efficiency of cutting fluids in machining processes the knowledge of machining conditions and cutting fluid types are critically important. However, misemploy of the cutting fluid and non efficient method of disposal can raise health issues and environmental impact. In this paper, an attempt has been made to provide overview of cutting fluids type, cooling techniques and main alternatives as dry machining, cryogenic cooling, minimum quantity lubrication and hybrid cooling minimizing use of cutting fluids. The inclusion of solid lubricants, nano fluids in lubrication/cooling techniques results in increase in the productivity of the process due to reduction in friction and heat at the cutting zone. The cutting parameters and type of tools utilized by various researchers have been summed up and introduced in this paper to provide useful information to various researcher works.

切削液在切削刀具和工件表面提供冷却，润滑刀具-工件界面，并在加工过程中从切削区排出切屑。使用切削液的主要原因是通过冷却或润滑来降低切削区的温度和摩擦磨损。为了最大限度地提高切削液在加工过程中的效率，了解加工条件和切削液类型至关重要。然而，切削液使用不当和处理方法无效会引起健康问题和环境影响。在本文中，已尝试概述切削液类型、冷却技术和主要替代品，如干式加工、低温冷却、最小量润滑和混合冷却最大限度地减少切削液的使用。由于减少了切割区的摩擦和热量，在润滑/冷却技术中加入固体润滑剂、纳米流体可提高工艺的生产率。本文总结并介绍了各种研究人员使用的切削参数和刀具类型，为各种研究人员的工作提供有用的信息。
