Cutting Fluid Selection and Special Cases

Abstract

NEW INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS, the demand for higher productivity and the requirements for ever smaller tolerances have resulted in great advances in machine tool design and in cutting tool materials. Cutting fluids have a significant part to play in this story but they can only play their full part if they are correctly chosen and if their proper functions are understood. Increased rates of metal removal can then be achieved and problems associated with difficult or hazardous machining operations reduced or even eliminated.
