Design of the Feed Liquid System for an Internal Cooling End-milling

Abstract

In order to weaken the negative effect on environment and human health caused by the overuse of the cutting fluid, the internal cooling cutting is paid more and more attention. An end-milling with an internal cooling lubricant supply is proposed in the paper. The cutting fluid is provided through the internal cooling channels inside the end-milling cutter rather than the traditional external fluid feeding system. With the internal cooling channels feeding system, the cutting fluid can be fed to the cutting zone directly. The design process of the feed liquid system for an internal cooling end-milling is given. And the simulation result about the design is given. And it can meet the expected design goal. In practice, the calculated liquid flow of the internal cooling end-milling cutter is reasonable. The related computation process can serve as reference of domestic design of the feed liquid system for an internal cooling end-milling cutter.
