The Influence of the Lubrication Method and the Cutting Regime on the Surface Roughness when Milling 7175 Aluminum Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the current paper, some aspects regarding the quality of the surface machined under different lubrication conditions is being assessed: cutting under a jet of cutting fluid, minimum quantity lubrication cutting, dry cutting. The objective was to assess the results obtained after MQL cutting in comparison with dry cutting and cutting under a jet of cutting fluid. The variables of the cutting regime were the feed rate and the type of milling (climb and conventional). This study has an important ecological impact over the use of cutting fluids.
