Analysis of Contact Phenomena and Heat Exchange in the Cutting Zone Under Minimum Quantity Cooling Lubrication conditions

Abstract

The paper critically investigates about the influence of emulsion mist cooling on the conditions of heat absorption from the machining zone. The cooling conditions under which the total number of drops falling on the hot surfaces of the machining zone evaporate have been studied. The state of cutting wedges made of P25 sintered carbide after finish turning of two-phase pearlite-ferrite AISI 1045 steel with the presence of an anti-seizure and anti-wear additive has been subjected to scanning inspection. In the contact area, the content of surface active compounds is much larger as compared to the areas beyond the contact. It has been observed that the concentration of active compounds on the surface grows by about three times. This phenomena provides confirmatory evidences of favourable machining conditions.
