The Effect of Tool Wear and Environmental Consciousness due to Cutting Fluid Atomization in Machining Process

기계가공시 공구수명과 절삭유 미립화에 따른 환경적 측면에 관한 연구

This paper presents the experimental results of relationship between the machinability and environmental consciousness due to cutting fluid atomization in machining process. Even though cutting fluid improves the machined part quality through the cooling and lubracating effects, its environmental impact is also increased according to the cutting fluid usage. Cutting tool wear is one of criterion for deciding the machinability. A few turning operations were performed to know the qualitative effectiveness of cutting fluid to tool wear improvement. This research can be used as a basis for environmental impact analysis on the shop floor. It can be also facilitate the optimization of cutting fluid usage in achieving a balanced consideration of productivity and environmental consciousness.
