Experimental investigations on the influence of emulsifier content in cutting fluids on machined surface

Abstract

Cutting fluids occupied a place of prominence in metal cutting industries for centuries. To cater to the needs of state-of-art machining processes, several fluid formulations are available in the present day market. Of such available fluids, water-soluble fluids occupy a role of prominence. Though the need of cutting fluids is well stressed upon and is much explored, the role of different ingredients of the fluid on the surface of the machined component is not much investigated. The present work is an attempt to study the role of emulsifier on the machined surface through estimation of surface roughness and change in hardness of the samples.

Preparation of a novel alkanolamine borate and its tribological properties in copper wire drawing oil

“…As for metalworking fluids, there are oil-based fluids and water-based fluids (Srikant et al , 2009). Water-based metalworking fluid with outstanding cooling performance is widely used in the field of high-speed processing.…”

Treatment of waste cutting fluid by coagulation-anaerobic hydrolysis (with or without cosubstrate glucose)-aeration process

“…After use, the cutting fluid will lose the lubrication and cooling performance, and then need to be replaced periodically, which will eventually generate a large amount of cutting fluid wastewater. Waste cutting fluid has the high organic and oil content, and poor biodegradability, which is extremely harmful to the environment and human health when it is discharged directly (Srikant et al 2009;Feng et al 2017). In recent years, the treatment methods for waste cutting fluid have been reported mainly including electrochemical methods (Kobya et al 2008;Chachou et al 2015;Chawaloesphosiya et al 2015;Xiong et al 2020), advanced oxidation methods (Sánchez-Oneto et al 2007;Seo et al 2007;Liu et al 2017;Zhang et al 2017;Su et al 2018) and membrane separation methods (Chen et al 2019;Popovićet al 2019).…”
