The Application and Research of Minimum Quantity Lubrication Machining

摘要

As a green machining method, the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technology has been investigative by many researchers. Currently, the main directions of MQL research are the type of oil, droplet size and distribution, the form of chips and surface roughness, cutting temperature and tool wear. Further, in order to achieve a good surface finish on a machined part with an optimum amount of MQL or a new tool material is to be replaced with lower coefficient of friction and high heat resistance.
