The Role of Cutting Fluid

When using CNC machining center to process parts and products, cutting fluid will be used in conjunction. So what role does cutting fluid play in machining? Let’s follow the editor to understand the role of cutting fluid:

1. Lubrication: In addition to cooling and cooling, the cutting fluid can also play a role of lubrication. During processing, the cutting fluid can reduce the friction, wear and melting between the rake face and the cutting, and the flank face and the workpiece surface. The ability to adhere and adhere. Under certain conditions, the front and back friction of the tool can be reduced by using high-quality chip fluid, thus achieving the effect of extending tool life and obtaining better surface quality of the workpiece. The most important thing is that it can also reduce the generation of built-up tumors.

2. Cooling and cooling: Due to the liquid properties of the cutting fluid, it has the ability to cool down. Its cooling function can significantly reduce the temperature generated when the workpiece is cut, reduce tool wear, increase tool life, and control temperature It is also possible to effectively prevent the impact of thermal expansion and warpage of the workpiece on the processing accuracy, and to cool the processed surface to inhibit the generation of thermally deteriorated layers.

3. Anti-rust: When the machine tool is processed, the machine tool and the workpiece are easily rusted due to the moisture, hand sweat, oxygen and other ubstances in the surrounding environment. Especially in summer, the situation of high temperature and high humidity is more prominent. Therefore, according to these actual conditions, when processing metal products and the processing time is long, the cutting fluid must have the function of preventing rust. In this way, not only can the workpiece be prevented from rusting, but the machine tool and the tool can also be prevented from rusting. Troubled.
Cutting fluid plays a huge role in the metal cutting process. Therefore, when choosing cutting fluid, the most suitable high-quality cutting fluid should be selected reasonably, so that the four major functions of cutting can be played perfectly, and the tool life can be prolonged and processing can be guaranteed. Accuracy, prevent rust, improve cutting efficiency, reduce survival costs and many other benefits.

4. Cleaning: During the processing of the workpiece product, some debris, metal powder, or grinding wheel powder will be produced, which will adhere to the tool, or between the processing surface of the product and the moving part of the machine, equivalent adhesion amount When it gets bigger and bigger, it will produce mechanical scratches and abrasion, which will have a bad influence on the surface quality of the product, reduce the accuracy of the machine tool and the life of the tool. Therefore, when the cutting fluid is selected, it is required to have a cleaning effect, and it will be pressurized when it is used, so as to increase the washing ability of the cutting fluid and facilitate the timely flushing of these fine chips and powders.
