Cutting-Tool Materials and Cutting Fluids

The reasons for the availability of a large variety of cutting-tool materials is best appreciated by reviewing the top eight parameters in the first column in Table 22.2 on p. 638. Among various factors, the type of workpiece material machined, the type of operation, and the surface finish and dimensional accuracy required all affect the choice of a cutting-tool material. For example, for inter...

Environmentally Friendly Machining: Vegetable Based Cutting Fluids

Abstract A wide variety of cutting fluids are commercially available in the cutting fluid suppliers in order to provide machining performances for a number of industries. In machining, mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids are widely used but, recently, uses of vegetable based cutting fluids have been increased. Although, these cutting fluids are beneficial in the industries, the...

Fuzzy logic and regression modelling of cutting parameters in drilling using vegetable based cutting fluids

In machining industry, cutting fluids have an important role due to their lubrication, cooling and chip removal functions. Using of cutting fluids can improve machining process efficiency, tool life, surface quality and it can reduce cutting forces and vibrations. However, health and environmental problems are encountered with the use of cutting fluids. Therefore, there has been a high demand f...

Peptidoglycans in cutting fluids - a good indicator of bacterial contamination?

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the content of peptidoglycans in cutting fluids (CFs) and to assess the possibility of using them as a marker of bacterial contamination in this type of occupational environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 11 samples of CFs were collected: 8 were taken from the working machine systems and 3 were unused CF samples. The peptidoglycans were d...
