The effect of activation of oil coolants with ionized air on increasing the resistance of high-speed cutting tools

Abstract

The durability of the cutting tool significantly affects the productivity of metalworking. Increasing the durability of the cutting tool is the main task of lubricating and cooling technological means. Along with reducing the negative impact of lubricating and cooling liquids, the technology of minimum lubrication has become widespread. The disadvantage of this technology is the low cooling capacity of the working area. To solve this problem, this study proposes the combined effect of lubricating and cooling media supplied by the MQL together with ionized air. Ionized air acts as a dry lubricant, accelerating the formation of oxide films on rubbing surfaces. The temperature of the supplied air is reduced without additional equipment, which improves the quality of cooling without additional costs.
