How is the cutting fluid consumed? How to reduce cutting fluid loss?
March 17, 2023
Cutting fluid is a kind of working fluid used for cooling and lubricating tools and machined parts in the process of metal cutting, cutting and grinding. Cutting fluid is an important supporting material for metal cutting production and processing. The history of human use of cutting fluid can be traced back to ancient times. When people grind stone, bronze and iron tools, they know that watering can improve work efficiency and quality. In the process of metal cutting, the workpiece will be corroded by contacting with the corrosive medium such as oil stain caused by the decomposition or oxidation of the environmental medium and the cutting fluid components, and the surface of the machine tool parts contacted with the cutting fluid will also be corroded. In addition, when the workpiece is temporarily stored after production and processing or in the process of circulation between processes, the cutting fluid is also required to have certain anti-rust ability to avoid corrosion of metal caused by corrosive substances such as oil dirt in the environmental media and residual cutting fluid. How is the cutting fluid consumed during machining?
1. Volatilization of cutting fluid during production and processing of workpiece
2. The attachment of the workpiece surface takes away the cutting fluid 3. The machine tool may leak water, which may also cause cutting fluid loss
How can we reduce the loss and prolong the service life of cutting fluid? 1. When we use the cutting fluid daily, we should record the cutting fluid indicators every day, monitor each parameter indicator, and take corresponding measures to remedy if there is any change. 2. It is also necessary to ensure the water quality and system cleaning, timely remove the metal powder and other chips and suspended oil in the cutting fluid, and eliminate the bacteria breeding environment to ensure the normal operation of the internal environment of the cutting fluid. 3. Because the cutting fluid will continue to be consumed due to splashing, atomization, evaporation and the carrying of production and processing materials and chips during the recycling process, it is necessary to add new fluid in time.
