title = "Transiently stable emulsions for metalworking fluids",
abstract = "The objective of this research is to design transiently stable emulsions that provide equivalent or superior performance in terms of cooling and lubrication when compared with conventional metalworking fluids (MWF). In this paper, the effect of surface tension, particle size, and the proportion of oil in the mixture on fluid functionality are evaluated by a design of experiment (DOE) approach. Based on the DOE results, the most important factors that influence drilling temperatures and forces are identified, which in turn guides the custom formulation. Other measures of performance that include emulsion stability and the time for the oil to separate are also considered. Machining tests are conducted to assess overall performance of the transiently stable custom formulations.",
