Description of the Book:

Phase I results are presented for the program entitled ‘Establishment of a Cutting Fluid Control System.’ The Phase I objectives were to analyze existing Rock Island Arsenal manufacturing processes and requirements, conduct systematic evaluations of available fluid products, and develop a preliminary fluid selection and application matrix. The study showed the majority of observed machining operations involve milling, turning, grinding, and boring procedures on 4100 series steels. A severity index was developed which ranked all these processes relative to machining difficulty with respect to cutting parameters, tool design, workpiece hardness, and specific machining process. Commercially available cutting fluids were also ranked according to composition and manufacturer’s recommendations. A total of sixty-five fluids were subjected initially to screening tests involving residue, rust, and bacterial growth with selected fluids then employed in cutting tests. The latter tests employed specially instrumented machine tools which provided force, power consumption, and tool wear data.

Results indicate fluid performance levels are not necessarily related to overall product formulations and that milling and turning require significantly different fluid properties. Initial recommendations are presented for a closed-loop fluid reprocessing system
