Selection standard, use, performance characteristics and precautions of cutting fluid

The use of cutting fluid can improve the machinability of difficult to machine materials. It is applicable to the cutting of cast iron, carbon steel, ferrous metal, stainless steel and other metals. It is widely used in many fields. Next, the Xiaobian of Xianji Network will introduce the selection standard, use, performance characteristics and precautions of cutting fluid.

The history of human using cutting fluid can be traced back to ancient times. When people grind stone, bronze and iron tools, they know that watering can improve efficiency and quality. In ancient Rome, olive oil was used to turn the castings of piston pumps, and tallow and water solvent were used to polish metal armor in the 16th century. Since John Wilkinson of England successfully developed a boring machine to process the cylinders of Watt steam engine in 1775, the application of water and oil in metal cutting appeared. After a long development in 1860, various machine tools such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, gear machining and thread machining appeared one after another, marking the beginning of large-scale application of cutting fluid.
