Cutting fluids or, as they are often called, cutting fluids (cutting fluids, cutting fluids, emulsols (emulsions)), technical cutting fluids for metal cutting are one of the important and key factors in the process of mechanical metal processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In professional engineering practice, technical documentation, literature, information space (the Internet) and other telecommunication networks, all these terms are often intertwined and used almost as synonyms, but there are some differences between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the type (coolant, coolant, coolant) may contain mineral, vegetable components with the addition of additives (emulsifiers). In addition, (coolant, coolant) may be synthetic, semi-synthetic based on polymers and water, without mineral oils or not containing mineral oil at all, water-soluble (emulsions, emulsols). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at how coolants (coolants, coolants, coolants, emulsions) directly affect the accuracy of metalworking and why they are critically important for production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, such fluids effectively remove heat from the cutting zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During cutting (mechanical processing of metal), a significant amount of heat is released in the area of \u200b\u200bcontact between the tool and the part (workpiece). Under the influence of high temperature, the metal of the part (workpiece) begins to expand, so after cooling its actual dimensions may differ from those specified in the design documentation (drawings). Properly selected (coolant, coolant, coolant, emulsion) remove heat, stabilize the temperature of the part (workpiece) and the tool, and help maintain their geometry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, they reduce friction and vibration of equipment during processing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friction between the tool, workpiece and forming chips increases the load on the equipment. This can cause the tool to be squeezed out during the machining process, the occurrence of equipment vibration and subsequently affect the deterioration of the formation of the specified surface roughness, as well as the deviation of the actual dimensions of the part. The lubricating effect (coolant, coolant, coolant, emulsions) reduces friction between the contact surfaces and ensures more stable operation of the tool, reduces the formation of burrs, as well as the risk of local overheating (burning). The use of such fluids is especially important during deep drilling, broaching, thread cutting, turning and other operations with high loads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, remove the chips from the cutting area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chips that are not removed in a timely manner during the machining process can re-enter the tool, causing scratches, burrs and damage to the already machined finishing surface of the part or even damage the tool. The supply (coolant, coolant, coolant, emulsion) at the correctly selected nozzle angle and injection pressure helps to wash out chips and sludge, clean the working area and create the necessary conditions for the finishing pass of the tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth, they protect parts and workpieces from corrosion.<\/strong>Most modern (coolants, coolants, coolants) contain mineral, vegetable components, as well as anti-corrosion additives that can protect parts, tools and machines from rust after processing. For example, (coolants, coolants, coolants) based on mineral, vegetable components leave a stable film on the surface of parts that blocks the access of oxygen and moisture. Parts (workpieces) after using such materials can be stored without additional preservation for a long time (from several weeks to months in a dry room). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water-soluble (emulsion fluids, coolants) that contain corrosion inhibitors (passivators) also create a protective film and can protect the part (workpiece) during storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important factor is the condition control (coolant, coolant, coolant, emulsions). They can lose their properties due to incorrect concentration, inadequate water quality, contamination with foreign oils, sludge accumulation or untimely cleaning of the fluid supply system. All this can lead to problems of accelerated tool wear, corrosion, foaming, unpleasant odor and an increase in the number of scrap. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly monitor the concentration, cleanliness, storage conditions, as well as the operating parameters of the fluids in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to choose the right (coolant, coolant, coolant, emulsion) for the metalworking process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, there is no universal product for all metalworking production operations. When selecting, it is necessary to take into account such factors (parameters) as workpiece material, type of processing, cutting modes, tool type, machine characteristics, water quality, and requirements for accuracy and surface roughness. The most reliable approach is to conduct a technical analysis of the production process, as well as test the selected product on specific equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
