Abstract
A study of the influence of soluble, and E.P. soluble cutting fluids when turning an alloy steel with a carbide tool is reported. The results indicate that under practical cutting conditions no fluid penetration and hence no lubricating action took place at the chip-tool interface, and the fluids can, therefore, be considered solely as coolants. Tool life based on a crater wear criterion was found to be directly related to a fluids cooling ability. Under finish machining conditions the fluids were found to be detrimental to tool life, since their corrosive action led to substantial increases in the groove wear at the trailing edge.
