4.1 Roles
-
Temperature distribution during machining
Tool/workpiece/chip contact generates considerable heat (figure 7 ). The lubricant must evacuate this heat, i.e. it must be :
very wet ;
as smoothly as possible;
at a sufficient flow rate.
-
Avoiding the formation of built-up edges
The cutting operation generates...
