Abstract

The paper presents the results of tests of the wear of cutting tools following the process of facing with lubrication with cutting fluids. The tests were carried out on a CNC lathe with the use of two cutting fluids: one based on mineral oil and the other containing zinc aspartate. After machining, the tool wear was measured using a stereoscopic inspection microscope. Observation of surface morphology and identification of elements was performed using a scanning electron microscope with a EDS analyser. Measurements of the geometric structure of the surface of turned elements were performed using an optical profilometer. The non-toxic coolant with zinc aspartate used in the tests resulted in the formation of surface layers enriched with zinc compounds, which directly translated into the improvement of technological quality of the workpiece.
