INFLUENCE OF COOLING FLUID APPLICATION ON TOOL WEAR DURING MACHINING OF HARDENED CHROME NICKEL STEEL
Influence of cooling fluid application on the tool wear, during longitudinal turning of hardened chrome nickel steel, on the basis of experimental investigations is presented in this paper. Cutting tool wear investigation through comparation dry machining and machining by cooling fluid application, for the same other machining conditions, are conducted. Tool wear size, tool wear shape and cutting tool life are taken into account by cutting tool wear investigation. Analysis of experimental results showed inverse proportion between coolig fluid application and flank wear size, as well as significance of influence on tool wear and its characteristics, via the flank wear shape. Also, analysis of experimental results showed significance of influence coolig fluid application on increase of cutting tool life.
