    Flow Visualisation and Evaluation Studies on Metalworking Fluid Applications in Manufacturing Processes—Methods and Results

    by Udo Fritsching, Lizoel Buss, Teresa Tonn, Lukas Schumski, Jurgen Gakovi, Johnson David Hatscher, Jens Sölter, Kerstin Avila, Bernhard Karpuschewski, Julian Frederic Gerken, et al.

    Metalworking operations rely on the successful application of metalworking fluids (MWFs) for effective and efficient operation. Processes such as grinding or drilling often require the use of MWFs for cooling, lubrication, and chip removal. Electrochemical machining processes require electrolyte flow to operate. However, in those machining operations, a fundamental understanding of the mode of action of MWF is lacking due to the unknown flow dynamics and its interaction with the material removal during the process. Important information on the behaviour of MWFs during machining can be obtained from specific experimental flow visualisation studies. In this paper, promising flow visualisation analysis techniques applied to exemplary machining processes (grinding, sawing, drilling, and electrochemical machining) are presented and discussed. Shadowgraph imaging and flow measurements, e.g., particle image velocimetry, allow the identification of typical flow and MWF operating regimes in the different machining processes. Based on the identification of these regimes, efficient machining parameters and MWF applications can be derived. In addition, detailed experimental analyses of MWFs provide essential data for the input and validation of model development and numerical simulations within the Priority Programme SPP 2231 FluSimPro.
