V.P. Baranov, mechanic. cooling mixture to the cutting zone does not always provide the required quality and productivity
parameters. However, today metal cutting machines meet the requirements of accuracy. The
proposed tool range and the results of numerous studies make it possible to select such cutting
inserts, the use of which maximizes productivity and quality of processing.
At the same time, despite the development of a large number of coolant grades and testing in
this area, there is no single methodology that ensures the selection of the most effective cooling
mixture. The selection of an effective grade of it, according to available data [2], allows to
reduce cutting forces by 20%. Therefore, it is advisable to develop a methodology that ensures
the selection of such a brand.
In the general case, coolant mixture exerts lubricating, cooling, washing, dispersing,
cutting, plasticizing and other actions on the cutting process. However, by definition, the main
functional actions of the coolant mixture are lubricating and cooling actions. Therefore, the
development of methods for selecting effective coolant should be based on studies of these
actions.
