Q16.What are the main reasons for metamorphism and smelliness of cutting fluid?
A:
Bacteria are the main reason of smelliness. Generally, there are two kinds of bacteria in the cutting fluid, namely, aerobe and anaerobe. The aerobe exists in mineral substances with aerobic conditions, such as water, cutting fluid, or gas leaking from machine tools. One aerobe will constantly divide into two every other 20 minutes. The anaerobe exists in environment with rare oxygen. One anaerobe will divide into two every 60 minutes and undergo constant metabolism to release sulfur dioxide with strong smell of rotten eggs. The cutting fluid will then turn black. When bacteria in the cutting fluid accumulate to a considerable quantity, the cutting fluid will give off unbearable stink.
