Aluminium alloys are attracting importance in various engineering industries because of their exceptional characteristics such as strength, resistance to oxidation etc., AA5052 is an alloy that categorized under Al-Mg series, commonly adopted in anti-rust applications, especially for desalination applications because of its good corrosion resistance in seawater at temperatures up to 125°C, low cost, good thermal conductivity, and non-toxicity of its corrosion products. Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is one of the approaches that are economically affordable and also eco-friendly used in various machining operations. This present exploration details the investigation CNC turning of AA5052 alloy with conventional Tungsten Carbide (WC) tool inserts under MQL conditions. There are two different natural cutting fluids were engaged such as live oil and coconut oil.
