Study on Minimum Quantity Lubrication Systems in Cooling of Machining Processes

摘要

The cooling systems on machine tools are particularly important; these have a positive influence on the cutting operation and the quality of machined surface. A particular importance represent finding an optimal correlation between the lubricant and coolant used, the material to be processed, processing method and the cutting regime. A high temperature in the working area over a certain value allowable can be harmful in terms of both the resulted surface quality and repercussions on the life of the cutting tool. The parameters of the cooling-lubricating fluid flow can be influenced by the nature of the fluid or fluids, or the nozzle geometry used, in this paper was conducted a simulation with specialized software to view graph with fluid flow characteristics.
