Abstract
One important way in which cutting lubricants operate is by reducing the degree of adhesion between the tool rake-face and the freshly formed chip surface. It is suggested that processes of molecular transport within a network of interfacial capillaries play a dominant role in controlling the effectiveness of cutting fluids, providing that they are capable of reaction with, or adsorption into, the metal surfaces.Keywords
