What are the uses of emulsifiable cutting fluids?
Uses of emulsifiable cutting fluids can be classified in three groups: • Lubrication • Refrigeration • Removing shavings Large quantities of friction occur during cultivating process of metal and too much force is needed to defeat this friction. If a fluid is used during the process, it lubricates forming a pellicle between the gear-tip and the item and allows the same work to be done by less force. This also minimizes gear detritions by reducing the friction between gear-shaving and gear-item and provides a smooth surface. Emulsifiable cutting fluid minimizes deformation by controlling heat of gear and item. Removing shavings from the system by its detergent feature, it provides better surface smoothness.
