Effect of vegetable and mineral oil-in-water emulsion cutting fluids in turning AISI 4340 steel with coated carbide tools / Sunday Albert Lawal

Cutting fluids have been used extensively and play a significant role in machining processes. Cutting fluids affect the productivity of machining operations, tool life, quality of workpiece and prevent the cutting tool and machine from overheating as well. In general, a successful cutting fluid must...
