Introduction to the importance of trace lubricants

In the application of micro-lubrication system, the generation of oil mist is very critical. There are many factors that affect the effect of MQL micro-lubrication.

At present, most users do not have a clear understanding of the characteristics of oils used under micro-lubrication conditions. They think that as long as the oil can be used in micro-lubrication processing, this is a wrong understanding. It is very important to correctly select micro-lubricating products.

First of all, mineral oil cannot be used in micro-lubrication processing, mainly because the oil mist particles produced by mineral oil are harmful to the human body, and the particle size generated by mineral oil atomization is large, the lubrication effect is not good, and mineral oil is not suitable for high-speed processing Lubrication in the state.

When the micro-lubrication system is used in cutting, the oil is very important. First of all, the oil must be environmentally friendly and should not cause harm to the health of the operators. At present, foreign countries have clear requirements for the oil used in the metal cutting processing field, and the use of MQL technology in the domestic machining field is still in its infancy. Because the micro-lubricating oil is atomized into 0.5-10 micron oil suspended particles, When selecting trace lubricants, the health and environmental protection characteristics of the oil should be considered first.

On the premise of ensuring that the oil is harmless to human health, it is necessary to consider the lubrication and atomization characteristics of the oil in the cutting process. The first thing to consider is that the oil should have a low viscosity. Only low-viscosity lubricants can be used without heating. It is atomized into ultra-fine suspended particles in the micron range, and can realize long-distance transportation without being affected by the high speed of the machine tool. There are many disadvantages of using mineral oil. Firstly, it is difficult to atomize without heating. Even if heated, the atomization effect of ultra-fine particles cannot be achieved. After the atomization of mineral oil, it is not easy to transport long-distance in the small channel, and it is easy to form oil. Droplets, especially affect the transportation in the main shaft, and easily cause oil accumulation in the pipeline, and the terminal lubrication effect is poor. The reason is that the oil mist that forms large particles is affected by the centrifugal force of the machine tool spindle. Compared with cutting fluid, the consumption of lubricating oil is greatly reduced in cutting under the condition of micro-lubrication, and the consumption per hour is below 50ml/h, which is much lower than the consumption of the traditional heating oil mist lubrication system.

What are the characteristics of the CNC turning process?

What are the characteristics of the CNC turning process? Turning is a method of cutting the workpiece on the lathe by rotating the workpiece relative to the tool. Turning is the most basic and common cutting processing method. Most workpieces with revolving surfaces can be processed by turning methods, such as inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces, end surfaces, grooves, threads, and rotary forming surfaces. Common lathes can be divided into horizontal lathes, floor lathes, vertical lathes, turret lathes and profiling lathes, and most of them are horizontal lathes.

The Influence of CNC Turning and Milling Machining on Turning Efficiency

The cutting efficiency of CNC lathes will be affected by human factors, environmental factors and the machine tool itself. Let's talk about the influence of cutting amount and cutting tools on CNC lathe processing among many factors.   Reasonable cutting amount can improve the efficiency of CNC lathe. When the   laser  cutting  speed is increased by 10 times and the feed rate is increased by 20 times, far beyond the traditional cutting forbidden zone, the cutting mechanism has undergone a fundamental change.   The result of CNC turning  and milling combined processing is: the metal removal rate per unit power is increased by 30% to 40%, the cutting force is reduced by 30%, the cutting life of the tool is increased by 70%, and the cutting left on the workpiece is greatly reduced. Heat, cutting vibration almost disappeared; cutting processing has taken an essential leap. According to the current situation of CNC lathes, increase the feed per tooth, improve pr...

Machining and welding process notes for TC4 titanium alloy parts

Common welding methods for titanium and titanium alloys are as follows: Argon arc welding, submerged arc welding, vacuum electron beam welding, etc. Tungsten argon arc welding is used for thicknesses of 3 mm or less, and argon arc welding is done for 3 mm or more. The purity of argon is over 99.99%, and the content of air and water vapor in argon is strictly controlled. Currently, for TC4 titanium alloys, argon arc welding, plasma arc welding are often used for welding, but both methods need to be filled with welding material. Limitations on shield gas, purity and effectiveness increase the oxygen content of the joint, reduce its strength and increase its post-weld deformation. Electron beam welding and laser beam welding are used. The following is a description of precision welding and precautions for TC4 titanium alloy. 1. Weld hole problem Table of Contents 1. Weld hole problem 2, internal quality of welded part 3. Weld depth and its variation 4, j...
