Consumption of cutting oil used for cooling and lubrication during machining operations has been dramatically reduc in a research program called Minimum Quantity of Lubrication (MQL) carried public by SKF Group's carbonized iron Division in Hallefors.

Consumption of cutting oil used for cooling and lubrication during machining operations has been dramatically reduc in a research program called Minimum Quantity of Lubrication (MQL) carried public by SKF Group's carbonized iron Division in Hallefors, Sweden. MQL is a technique based onward mixing oil with compressed air and spraying a mist into the cutting baldric

The research started as part of an EU-sponsored draw called Lepocut, which aims at reducing cutting-oil consumption on one third without any negative dependence of cause and effects to production. MQL started in 1996 with a large number of proofs ...
