Metal cutting operations

Built-up Edge. At relatively low speeds in metal-cutting operations, the tool tip does not get hot enough for crater wear to be significant. Under these conditions the metal may, however, become welded to the tool tip as built-up edge (Fig. 2c).

The main function of most lubricants is to reduce friction and wear between moving surfaces and to abstract heat. They also have to remove debris from the contact area, e.g. combustion products in an engine cylinder, swarf in metal-cutting operations. Sometimes they have to protect the lubricated or adjacent parts against corrosion, but this is not a prime function of most lubricants. On the other hand, many lubricants do contain corrosion inhibitors and some lubricating oils, greases, mineral fluids and compounds are specially formulated to prevent the corrosion of machinery or machine parts, particularly when these components are in storage or transit. These temporary protectives are described in Section 17.3. 

Hardness is measured by the Rockwell A-scale diamond cone indentation test (HRA) or by the Vickers diamond pyramid indentation test (HV). Although the Rockwell scale has been used for decades in the carbide industry as a measure of hardness, a true indication of the resistance of the tool to deformation in metal-cutting operations can be obtained only by measuring hardness at elevated temperatures. The hardness of cemented carbides decreases monotonically with increasing temperatures. 

Metal cutting operations such as machining use oil-water emulsions for both lubrication and cooling. 

The orthogonal cutting is just a particular case of the oblique cutting. Most of the metal cutting operations in industry are oblique cutting operations and the majority of the tools are supposed to be oblique. The fundamental difference in the analysis of cutting will be presented.

Welding and metal cutting operations produce molten metal, sparks, weld spatter, slag, and hot work surfaces. All of these can create a situation which can cause fires. 

Most metal-cutting operations require the use of cutting fluids, and even those operations that can be performed dry can often be carried out more efficiently by the use of a cutting fluid. Cutting fluids are often referred to as metalworking fluids, but can also be known as lubrication fluids, cooling emulsions or oils, and drilling fluids.
