Abstract Machining of aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) is still a major challenge due to the abrasive character of the ceramic reinforcement (such as SiC and Al₂O₃) in the matrix, which tends to accelerate tool wear, increase cutting temperatures, and deteriorate surface integrity compared to regular aluminium alloys. These problems are further aggravated at higher cutting speeds and material removal rates, resulting in poor surface finish, high cutting forces, and short tool life. Conventional flood lubrication has been of little help, and hence various novel lubrication and cooling methods such as Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL), nanofluid-assisted lubricants, bio-based and vegetable oil-derived fluids (such as jatropha oil), cryogenic cooling, and hybrid lubrication approaches have been explored. This review critically assesses the progress of lubrication approaches for machining of AMMCs during 2020-2026, covering the mechanisms (friction reduction, cooling, tribofilm formation), environmental sustainability, and machining performance (surface roughness, tool wear rate, cutting temperature, energy consumption). We also discuss the current trends in biodegradable and nanofluid lubricants, their relative performance compared to traditional approaches, and provide suggestions for future research to further improve sustainable and efficient machining of AMMCs.
Keywords Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites (AMMCs), Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL), Nanofluid Lubrication, Bio-Based Lubricants, Cryogenic Machining, Sustainable Machining.
