Kühlschmiermittels
Kühlschmiermittel, often translated as coolants or cutting fluids, are substances used in machining and metalworking processes to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and workpiece. They play a crucial role in extending tool life, improving surface finish, and facilitating chip removal. The primary functions of these fluids are to dissipate the heat generated by friction between the tool and the material being cut, and to reduce the friction itself.
There are several types of Kühlschmiermittel, categorized broadly into oil-based, water-based, and synthetic formulations. Oil-based coolants
Proper selection and maintenance of Kühlschmiermittel are essential for efficient and safe manufacturing operations. Factors influencing
