Choose the right cutting fluid flow: ensure processing efficiency

Choosing the right cutting fluid flow is essential to ensure processing efficiency. Insufficient cutting fluid flow may lead to increased tool wear, thereby reducing machining accuracy and surface finish. On the contrary, excessive cutting fluid flow may cause waste and increase production costs.

In order to choose the appropriate cutting fluid flow, the following factors need to be considered: the appropriate cutting fluid flow should be selected according to the hardness and strength of the processed material. Materials with higher hardness and strength require a larger flow of cutting fluid to reduce cutting force and cutting temperature. The appropriate cutting fluid flow should be selected according to the tool material and type. Different tool materials and types have different requirements for cutting fluid flow. , Cemented carbide tools require a larger flow of cutting fluid to reduce the cutting temperature, while high-speed steel tools require a smaller flow of cutting fluid.

It is also necessary to select the appropriate cutting fluid flow according to the processing method and process parameters. , In the process of high-speed cutting and powerful cutting, a larger flow of cutting fluid is required to reduce the cutting temperature and cutting force. In the process of precision cutting and fine cutting, a smaller flow of cutting fluid is required to improve the machining accuracy and surface finish.

Choosing the appropriate cutting fluid flow requires a variety of factors to be considered comprehensively, and the optimal flow rate is determined through experiments and optimization. Only by choosing the appropriate cutting fluid flow can the processing efficiency be improved, production costs be reduced, and product quality can be improved.

Adjust the pressure of the cutting fluid: improve the cooling and lubrication effect

Adjusting the pressure of the cutting fluid is a key step in optimizing the cooling and lubrication effects during machining. The main function of cutting fluid is to reduce the temperature of the cutting area, reduce tool wear, and improve the surface quality of the workpiece. By adjusting the pressure, it is possible to ensure that the cutting fluid can cover the entire cutting area evenly and effectively, thereby improving the processing efficiency. Too low pressure may cause the cutting fluid to not fully penetrate into the contact surface of the tool and the workpiece, resulting in insufficient cooling and lubrication, which in turn affects the processing quality. Excessive pressure may cause splashing of cutting fluid, which not only wastes resources, but may also pollute the operating environment.

In actual operation, the cutting hydraulic pressure should be adjusted according to the processing material, tool type and processing conditions. , When processing materials with higher hardness, appropriately increasing the pressure can enhance the cooling effect and extend the tool life. For precision machining, a lower pressure may be more appropriate to avoid unnecessary impact of cutting fluid on the surface of the workpiece. Regularly checking the pressure setting of the cutting fluid system to ensure that it is in the best condition is also an important measure to maintain processing stability.

By reasonably adjusting the pressure of the cutting fluid, the processing efficiency can not only be improved, but also the production cost can be reduced, the tool life can be extended, and the surface quality of the workpiece can be improved at the same time. This step is of great practical significance in machining and deserves full attention from operators.
