Extending tool life requires wisdom
"If you want to do a good job, you must first prepare your tools.”In the process of metal processing, the correct selection and application of tools are critical to machining accuracy and production efficiency. How to strike a balance between machining accuracy and cost and efficiency is often the most important dilemma for enterprises.Extending the tool life and reducing wear has naturally become one of the core assessment objectives of the production site personnel.
The influence of the choice of cutting fluid on the tool
Select the appropriate cutting medium according to the material of the tool and the processing requirements
Tool Tool application Tool material Suitable material
High speed steel Tap, Milling Cutter, Drill Advanced alloy steel based on chromium, nickel, tungsten,molybdenum, vanadium Semi-synthetic cutting fluid
Carbide steel Milling, turning, drilling, tapping, gear machining Carbon steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, superalloy Semi-synthetic, emulsion, fully synthetic cutting fluid, all kinds of cutting oil
Ceramic Zirconia Dry cutting
Diamond Cutting Diamond Cutting fluid
Influence of cutting fluid lubricity on tool wear rate
In the selection process of cutting fluid, the lubricating performance of the product is one of the most important considerations to ensure the processing quality and efficiency. During the machining process, the lubricant in the cutting fluid will be naturally depleted. At this time, it is necessary to add cutting fluid appropriately to maintain the concentration used to ensure effective lubrication.
Influence of cutting fluid cooling performance on tool wear rate
During the cutting process, if the cooling performance of the cutting fluid used is insufficient, the temperature of the tool will rise sharply, resulting in an increase in the distance between the tool molecules, which will soften the tool material and reduce the wear resistance, thereby accelerating the tool wear rate. The high temperature generated in the mechanical movement can also easily cause sintering burns of the workpiece.
Influence of cutting fluid foam on tool wear
Foam also has a big impact on the life of the tool. The generation of cutting fluid foam will increase the air content in the cutting fluid, so that the cutting fluid cannot fully act on the machined surface, resulting in very serious tool loss. Therefore, when choosing a cutting fluid, you should try to choose a cutting fluid that has no tendency to foam.
