A full-scale lathe test procedure is described which offers a sound and reproducible laboratory method for evaluating cutting-fluid performance. This test is based on tool-life measurements in a single-point turning operation on steel. Testing technique and data treatment are presented. Results show excellent general correlation with field-performance tests under widely varied cutting conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
