Metal cutting has been used in production for a long time and is an important item in industrial activities. The process of metal cutting is to use cutting tools to remove excess material from the surface of the workpiece to form parts with certain dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy and surface quality. Therefore, the quality of metal cutting directly determines whether the part is qualified.
Metal cutting has been used in production for a long time and is an important item in industrial activities. The process of metal cutting is to use cutting tools to remove excess material from the surface of the workpiece to form parts with certain dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy and surface quality. Therefore, the quality of metal cutting directly determines whether the part is qualified. There are many contents involved in the metal cutting process, such as chip formation and deformation, cutting force, heat and cutting temperature generated by cutting, wear mechanism and life of cutting tools, vibration during cutting and surface quality of workpieces, etc. All aspects affect the quality of the workpiece, processing costs, and so on. Nowadays, the rapid development of the material industry, cutting tools adapted to a variety of new materials are constantly updated. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring cutting performance, it is important to reduce the cost of metal cutting and improve the cutting environment. In traditional metal cutting, a large number of lubricating coolants such as cutting oil and cutting fluid are used. These lubricating coolants play a key role in metal cutting. On the one hand, it reduces the rapid wear of cutting tools and on the other hand, it takes away a lot of cutting Heat serves the purpose of protecting cutting tools and workpieces. However, the harmful effects caused by the large amount of use of lubricant coolants are also increasingly prominent. The high production costs, poor environment, high waste liquid treatment costs, and occupational diseases that cause operators are causing people to re-examine the application of lubricant coolants.
MQL applied to metal cutting processing is a new method of lubrication and cooling, which can reduce processing costs and improve processing efficiency, and can also be applied to the processing of a variety of new materials. The application environment of MQL technology has been improved. The essence of MQL machining is that there is always a thin oil film between the cutting tool and the workpiece, which reduces the friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece and reduces the wear of the cutting tool. The main significance of MQL applied to metal cutting lies in the following points:
1. Reduce the cost of machine tools, so that the purchase cost is reduced;
2. No need to use a large amount of cooling lubricant, which can further reduce processing costs;
3. The power of MQL is compressed air, which is far less than the circulation system of cutting fluid in energy consumption;
4.The processing environment can be significantly improved;
5. Processing efficiency can become higher;
6. Occupational hazards can be eliminated.
