Fundamentals of Cutting Tool Lubrication

Abstract

WHEN METALS ARE SHEARED or “cut” a compressive force of high intensity is applied to the metal by the cutting tool. The metal crystals are subjected to this force and the resulting stresses cause certain crystals to slip or flow in various directions along planes of slippage, the direction of slip normally being along planes of greatest atom density.
