Endmilling
Endmilling with the Bluebe MQL system is practical application with die cutting a leading market. A high speed, shallow, high feed process by a small end mill or a ball end mill is very compatible with MQL: we have many examples. It improves productivity, preventing scuffing, prolonging tool life, especially in the realm of high hardened steel cutting. With a desire to prevent inaccuracy resulting from heat displacement, the process itself aims to make a tool and a work piece touch each other as little as possible thus diminishes heat generation. This is a reasonable solution for MQL deprived of forced cooling. You can see production data of die cutting with an end mill at a factory of our client. Two trials that follow were carried out at another client, not aware of die cutting.
Tapping
Up to 2D tapping is possible with a wide gamut of material selection. Existence of at least oil-hole on the tap is obligatory.

@5.Turning

In addition to drilling, MQL knows fewer problems with lathes than machining centers. Deprived of forced cooling, it tends to accumulate thermal energy on the work piece. Trials verified that directly after an outside rough turning operation on a steel work piece (50mm, 40mm), the surface temperature was 40 C after a sequence - drilling, outside cross-cut, threading, end slotting, cutting-off, rough turning -temperature climbed to 60C. Numerical values are much lower and insignificant with an aluminum work piece, which shows as adequate material for MQL. Internal slotting and boring both have chip removal issues presenting another deficiency of MQL compared with traditional coolant.Please contact us, if you would like to have real data example for cutting condition, machine, tools.
