Development of Electric Rust Preventive Machining Method -Water Using for Machining: Improvement of Water Recycle System-

Abstract

Currently, the machining fluid includes several chemicals such as cutting oil and grinding oil is used for the machining. However, such the machining fluid that is caused enormous disposal cost and environmental load, should reduce using. Therefore, in this investigation, electric rust preventive machining method which uses only water for machining fluid is developed. Because using only water without extreme pressure agents, oil and so on, this method decreases disposal of waste machining fluid. In this paper, the system to remove impurities from a used machining fluid, and to reuse machining fluid is designed. To reproduce water efficiently, the order of arranging the filter is changed. In consequence, it has been efficient when the filtration filter is set up first, and the activated carbon filter is set up in the second. In addition, the reproduction of the water when the supply pressure is 0.75 MPa is verified by using this system. As a result, the water which passed a water recycle system, the impurities such as iron, conductivity, turbidity, colour decreased, and purification of the water is possible for this system. And, 5.2 L/min refined water recycle is achieved.
