Recent trends in manufacturing. Dry Machining

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 62.12, , language: English, abstract: Machining process is a metal cutting operation by which finished surface of desired shape and dimensions is obtained by separating a layer from the parent work piece by pressing a wedge shape device called cutting tool to the work piece. Manufacturers all over the world are trying to discover new methods to eliminate the use of cutting fluids. According to studies carried out the cost of the production is spent in purchase, storage, handling, utilizing and safe disposal of the fluid. In recent years large amount of research has taken place to improve productivity in machining. The cost of using coolant in machining industry world-wide is very high. Through a literature survey, it costs multi-billion Dollars for coolant acquisition and disposition in industrialized countries. Furthermore, chemical substances contained in coolant are very harmful to environment and machine shop workers. Dry machining is inevitably the future trend in machining industry. In order to help dry machining methods be smoothly adapted by the industry, this paper provides an information model for cost and process of dry machining.
