Adhesive force between cutting oil and metal chips?

In summary, cutting oil is used in metal machining to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and improve surface finish. The adhesion between cutting oil and metal chips is influenced by their chemical and physical properties, and can be affected by factors such as type and viscosity of the oil, surface roughness and composition of the metal, and cutting conditions. This adhesive force plays a crucial role in the machining process, but can also cause problems if excessive. It can be controlled and manipulated through various methods, such as selecting the right cutting oil, optimizing cutting conditions, and using additives or surface treatments.

I am working on a project to remove cutting oil from waste metal chips. I need to know the retationship between viscous force of oil and centrifugal force required to remove oil from chips, so that I can calculate the RPM

P.S Design is attached

There are numerous companies that make separators that remove oil from metal chips. Get some of their literature to find how they do it. Good search terms are remove oil from metal chips or reclaim oil from metal chips. Another good resource is to do a patent search on removing oil from metal chips.

1. What is adhesive force?

Adhesive force is the force that holds two surfaces together due to intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces and chemical bonds.

2. How does cutting oil affect the adhesive force between metal chips?

Cutting oil can reduce the adhesive force between metal chips by creating a lubricating layer between the metal surfaces, preventing them from sticking together.

3. Why is the adhesive force between cutting oil and metal chips important in machining?

The adhesive force between cutting oil and metal chips affects the efficiency and quality of the machining process. If the adhesive force is too strong, it can cause the chips to stick to the cutting tool, resulting in poor surface finish and increased tool wear.

4. What factors can influence the adhesive force between cutting oil and metal chips?

The adhesive force can be influenced by the type and viscosity of the cutting oil, the surface roughness and composition of the metal chips, and the cutting parameters such as speed and temperature.

5. How can the adhesive force between cutting oil and metal chips be measured?

The adhesive force can be measured using various techniques such as tensile testing, atomic force microscopy, and surface energy analysis. These methods can provide quantitative data on the strength of the adhesive force between the two materials.
