Study of reasons of increased active force using coolant with uncut chip thickness

Abstract

The use of coolant usually leads to a decrease in active force. However, it is well known that when cutting with small uncut chip thickness while using a coolant, the active force may be greater than when cutting without a coolant. For this reason, finish turning with very small uncut chip thickness and manual scraping is carried out without a coolant. The current explanation of this phenomenon is that the coolant increases the plowing force. The aim of this research is to study the impact of the coolant on the plowing force and to explain the reasons for the increase in active force at small uncut chip thickness. In the chipping process, a new reason was found that explains the increase in the active force when using coolant. It was established that the coolant prevents the buildup. Due to this phenomenon, cutting is performed with the radius of the cutting tool at a negative rake angle and with greater active force than when cutting without a coolant. When cutting without a coolant, a buildup is formed on the radius of the cutting tool; the geometry of the cutting part is improved. This is the real reason for decrease in active force when cutting without a coolant. When using the method of extrapolation on a zero uncut chip thickness under the same conditions without buildup, it was found that using a coolant does not increase, but decrease the plowing force.
