Abstract

This research describes the monitoring of the deterioration and lubricity of cutting fluid and subsequently derives several relationships in order to determine the objectives of the research. There were two objectives of this research: to determine the rate of deterioration of the cutting fluid and to determine the relation between the level of contamination and lubrication behavior. To achieve these objectives, lab experiment was carried out. It involved the design ad construction of a simple lubricity test rig. The amounts of the debris in the cutting fluid were determined and result was analyzed The coefficient of friction was measured every time the sample of cutting fluid was taken. The relationship between coefficient of friction and time and the amount of wear particles and time were determined. From both relationships, we can determine the relationship between the amount of wear debris in the cutting fluid and the coefficient of friction.
