Talaşli Üreti̇mde Kullanilan Kesme Sivilarindan İstenen Özelli̇kler Cutting Fluids Used in Metal Cutting and Their Effects on Human Health

Parallel to the developments in the technology, a large number of cutting fluids were developed and used. Cutting fluids should contain suitable additions depending on the workpiece to be machined and the machining parameters. Their lubrication effects should be considered at the lower cutting speeds while their cooling effects should be considered at higher cutting speeds. In this study, description of the cutting fluids used metal cutting industry was made and the guidelines for selection of the suitable cutting fluid for a given application were determined. In addition to the cooling and lubrication effects of the cutting fluids, their effects on human health and environment were also examined. The importance of these fluids in metal cutting was mentioned and the guidelines in the use of these fluids and their effects on human health were reviewed.
