Abstract

An instrumented test-bed and an associated operating procedure have been developed to assess metalworking fluid functionality. The test-bed uses the drilling process to assess small changes in metalworking fluid functionality as fluid components are depleted via pathways commonly experienced in a metalworking fluid life cycle. Using synthetic and semi-synthetic test metalworking fluids at various levels of depletion, the instrumented test-bed was experimentally compared against two common methods of metalworking fluid evaluation and found to be more sensitive to small changes in metalworking fluid composition than the other evaluation methods.
