n Assessment of the Physico-chemical Properties of Melon Seed (Citrullus lanatus) Oil as Base Material for Oil-in-Water Emulsion Cutting Fluid

摘要

The study highlights melon seed oil as possible cutting fluid for machining processes. The properties of melon seed oil were investigated. Formulation of oil-in-water with addition of some additives was carried out and the results obtained suggest that melon seed oil possesses the relevant properties as a base material for oil-in-water emulsion cutting fluid.
