How to evaluate the cooling performance of slurry?
Publish Time: 2024-09-16
The cooling performance of slurry, especially slurry used as cutting fluid in cutting processing, is crucial. The cooling performance of slurry can be evaluated from multiple aspects.
First, the cooling performance can be evaluated by measuring the temperature change during the processing. Under the same processing conditions, different slurries are used for cutting processing, and the temperature change in the processing area is recorded. Slurry with a smaller temperature rise usually has better cooling performance. For example, in high-speed cutting processing, the rapid rise in temperature will affect the life and processing accuracy of the tool, while slurry with good cooling performance can effectively reduce the processing temperature and reduce the occurrence of thermal deformation and thermal cracks.
Secondly, observing the wear of the tool can also indirectly reflect the cooling performance of the slurry. If the cooling effect of the slurry is good, the thermal impact on the tool during the processing will be reduced, and the wear rate will also be reduced accordingly. The cooling performance can be evaluated by comparing the wear degree of the tool, the change of the cutting edge, and the service life when using different slurries.
In addition, considering the thermal conductivity of the slurry is also an important evaluation method. Slurry with high thermal conductivity can take heat away from the processing area faster, thus achieving better cooling effect. The thermal conductivity of Slurry can be measured by professional testing equipment to judge the quality of its cooling performance.
The fluidity and permeability of Slurry can also be evaluated. Good fluidity and permeability can enable Slurry to reach the processing area more quickly and give full play to its cooling effect. For example, in some complex processing shapes, Slurry with good fluidity can better fill the gaps and improve cooling efficiency.
In addition, user feedback in actual applications is also an important basis for evaluating the cooling performance of Slurry. Processing companies can evaluate the cooling performance of different Slurries based on their long-term experience of using different Slurries, including the improvement of processing efficiency, the improvement of processing quality, and the reduction of equipment maintenance costs.
In short, evaluating the cooling performance of Slurry requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Through scientific measurement methods and feedback from actual applications, Slurry with good cooling performance can be selected to improve the efficiency and quality of cutting processing.
