1、The fluid characteristics and condition of use determine the coolant action of the cutting fluid, which improves the heat transfer at the shear zone between the cutting edge, work piece, and cutting fluid. The properties of the coolant in this case must include a high heat capacity to carry away hea
2、t and good thermal conductivity to absorb the heat from the cutting region. The water-based coolant emulsion with its excellent high heat capacity is able to reduce tool wear 44.Cutting Fluid as a Lubricant:The purpose is to reduce friction between the cutting edge, rake face and the work piece mate

As a result, the cutting tool wear rate is reduced and the surface finish is improved.Cutting Fluid PropertiesFree of perceivable odorPreserve clarity throughout lifeKind and unirritated t

Water Based or Water Soluble Cutting FluidsThis group is subdivided into three categories:1. Emulsion mineral soluble white-milky color as a result of emulsion of oi

Micro emulsion semi-synthetic invented in 1980s, has less oil concentration and/or higher emulsifier ratio 10%-40% oil. Due to the high levels of emulsi
8、fier the oil droplet size in the fluid are smaller which make the fluid more translucent and easy to see the work piece during operation. Other important benefit is in its ability to emulsify any leakage of oil from the machine parts in the cutting fluid, a corrosion inhibitors, and bacteria control
9、.3. Mineral oil free synthetic is a mix of chemicals, water, bacteria control, corrosion inhibitors, and dyes. Does not contain any mineral oils, and provides good visibility.23 to the work piece. bare in mind that the lack of mineral oil in this type of cuttingfluid needs to take more attention to
10、machine parts lubrication since it should not leave an oily film on the machine parts, and might cause seals degradation due the lack of protection.5.1.2 Cutting Fluid SelectionMany factors influence the selection of cutting fluid; mainly work piece material, type of machining operation, machine too

Table 5-1 prepared at the machine tool industry research association 2 provides suggestions on the type of fluid to be used.5.1.3 Coolant ManagementTo achieve a high level of cutting fluids performance and cost effectiveness, a coolant recycling system should be installed
12、 in the factory. This system will reduce the amount of new purchased coolant concentrate and coolant disposable, which will reduce manufacturing cost. It either done by the company itself or be rented out, depends on the budget and management policy of the company 1. Table 5-1 Guide to the selection

17、isms Under Wet High Speed MachiningIt is a common belief that coolant usage in metal cutting reduces cutting temperature and extends tools life. However, this research showed that this is not necessarily true to be generalized over cutting inserts materials. Similar research was carried out on diffe
18、rent cutting inserts materials and cutting conditions supporting our results. Gu et al 36 have recorded a difference in tool wear mechanisms between dry and wet cutting of C5 milling inserts. Tonshoff et al 44 also exhibited different wear mechanisms on AL2O3/TiC inserts in machining ASTM 5115, when
19、 using coolants emulsions compared to dry cutting. In addition, Avila and Abrao 20 experienced difference in wear mechanisms activated at the flank side, when using different coolants in testing AL2O3lTiC tools in machining AISI4340 steel. The wear mechanisms and the behavior of the cutting inserts
20、studied in this research under wet high speed-machining (WHSM) condition is not fully understood. Therefore, it was the attempt of this research to focus on the contributions in coating development and coating techniques of newly developed materials in order to upgrade their performance at tough mac
21、hining conditions. This valuable research provides insight into production timesavings and increase in profitability. Cost reductions are essential in the competitive global economy; thus protecting local markets and consisting in the search of new ones.5.3 Experimental Observations on Wear Mechanis
22、ms of Un-Coated Cemented Carbide Cutting Inserts in High Speed Wet MachiningIn this section, the observed wear mechanisms are presented of uncoated cemented carbide tool (KC313) in machining ASTM 4140 steel under wet condition. The overall performance of cemented carbide under using emulsion coolant
23、 has been improved in terms of extending tool life and reducing machining cost. Different types of wear mechanisms were activated at flank side of cutting inserts as a result of using coolant emulsion during machining processes. This was due to the effect of coolant in reducing the average temperatu
24、re of the cutting tool edge and shear zone during machining. As a result abrasive wear was reduced leading longer tool life. The materials of cutting tools behave differently to coolant because of their varied resistance to thermal shock. The following observations recorded the behavior of cemented
25、carbide during high speed machining under wet cutting.Figure 5-1 shows the flank side of cutting inserts used at a cutting speed of 180m/min. The SEM images were recorded after 7 minutes of machining. It shows micro-abrasion wear, which identified by the narrow grooves along the flank side in the di
26、rection of metal flow, supported with similar observations documented by Barnes and Pashby 41 in testing through-coolant-drilling inserts of aluminum/SiC metal matrix composite. Since the cutting edge is the weakest part of the cutting insert geometry, edge fracture started first due to the early non-smooth engagement between the tool and the work piece material. Also, this is due to stress concentrations that might lead to a cohesive failure on the transient filleted flank cutting wedge region 51, 52. The same image of m
