RESUMO

This work demonstrates that scratch test techniques can be used to provide a quick and cost effective evaluation of cutting fluids. Apparent coefficient of friction and specific energy for the scratch steel samples under several lubrication conditions provides a good indicator of cutting fluid performance. This is followed by evaluation of the surface finish and the cutting force of the ABNT NB 8640 steel with emulsion and synthetic cutting fluids, at 5% of concentrations, and neat mineral oil in the turning process. Comparative tests were carried out under dry and wet conditions. Results show that the linear scratch test was not efficient while the pendular scratch test was efficient tool in the classification of cutting fluids. The results can be transferred to conventional machining due to its dynamic nature.
