Q3.What are necessary conditions for ideal cutting fluid?
A:
Main functions of cutting fluid should have:
Cooling and lubrication, reducing the cutting temperature to maintain the hardness of cutters, and preventing the precision of work pieces from being influenced due to excessive thermal expansion. It can reduce friction among cuttings, cutters and workpieces, and improve the surface roughness. Also, it can avoid or decrease the formation of scraps-accumulation knife edge. It can wash away and eliminate cuttings, extend the service life of cutters and prevent from rusts.
Therefore, ideal coolant shall: Not hazard human health and security. Be equipped with superior heat conduction capacity, namely, good cooling power. Good lubricating effects. Less volatility, no foam, and no stink. Not damage processing machinery (especially the oil paint), cutters and work pieces. Be nonflammable under high temperature and easily to storage under normal temperature.
