Abstract
A new basic bi-dimensional cutting test, which deals with the major concerns of cutting fluid users, was developed: it consists of a parting operation carried out at constant cutting speed, on a lathe equipped with a DC-driven spindle.
Cutting oil performance is evaluated with respect to three criteria:
(1) the tool life time,
(2) the tool/chip friction factor,
(3) the specific cutting energy.
The complete test equipment and test procedure are described.
Typical results related to existing cutting oils are discussed.
