Cutting fluid selection and use tips in precision machining of aluminum parts

Publish Time: 2024-11-19
In the precision machining process of aluminum parts, the selection and use of cutting fluid is crucial. Cutting fluid can not only cool the cutting area, reduce friction and wear, but also prevent aluminum chips from clogging the tool, improve cutting efficiency and finished product quality.

First of all, the selection of cutting fluid should be determined according to the specific characteristics of aluminum materials and processing conditions. Aluminum alloys have the characteristics of low strength, low hardness, and good thermal conductivity, so they are prone to generate a lot of heat during the cutting process. This requires that the cutting fluid must have good cooling performance, be able to take away the cutting heat in time, prevent thermal deformation of the workpiece, and ensure machining accuracy. At the same time, the cutting fluid should also have excellent lubrication properties to reduce friction between the tool and the workpiece, extend the tool life, and improve the quality of the machining surface.

Secondly, the anti-rust performance of the cutting fluid should not be ignored. Aluminum alloys are prone to corrosion in a humid environment, so the cutting fluid should contain an effective rust inhibitor to protect the workpiece from corrosion. In addition, the filterability and stability of the cutting fluid are also important considerations. Cutting fluids with good filtration properties can prevent aluminum chips from clogging the cutting fluid circulation system and ensure the cleanliness of the cutting fluid; while cutting fluids with good stability can maintain stable performance during long-term use and are not easy to deteriorate.

When using cutting fluids, you need to pay attention to the following tips: First, the concentration of the cutting fluid should be mixed correctly. Too high or too low a concentration will affect the cutting effect; second, the pH value and impurity content of the cutting fluid should be checked regularly, and the cutting fluid should be replaced and adjusted in time to maintain its optimal performance; third, the cutting fluid tank and filter should be cleaned regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the cutting fluid; fourth, the appropriate type of cutting fluid should be selected according to the processing requirements, such as emulsified, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic.

In summary, the selection and use of cutting fluids in precision machining of Aluminum Parts are of great significance to improving machining efficiency, ensuring machining quality and extending tool life. Correct selection and use of cutting fluids will help improve the overall level of precision machining of Aluminum Parts.
