A study on machining of aircraft parts using compressed chilly air system

압축냉각공기 시스템을 적용한 항공기 부품 가공 기술

Cutting fluid usually has been used in order to improve machinability, tool life, surface quality. However, problems such as pollution, costs of chip and fluid treatment caused. In this paper, compressed chilly air was used to machine aircraft parts and investigate possibility and advantage of that. The experiments were carried out in various cutting environments, such as wet and compressed chilly air. With respect to the cutting environment, compressed chilly air gave advantages such as decrease of pollution and easy chip treatment.
