Question

what is the purpose of application of machining fluid in machining and grinding?

Explanation / Answer

>Cooling of the job and the tool to reduce the detrimental effects of cutting temperature on the job and the tool >Lubrication at the chip–tool interface and the tool flanks to reduce cutting forces and friction and thus the amount of heat generation >Cleaning the machining zone by washing away the chip – particles and debris which, if present, spoils the finished surface and accelerates damage of the cutting edges >Protection of the nascent finished surface – a thin layer of the cutting fluid sticks to the machined surface and thus prevents its harmful contamination by the gases like SO2, O2, H2S, NxOy present in the atmosphere
