Abstract

In high-speed sawing, the penetration of cutting fluid is limited due to the narrow kerf and large cutting depth. To improve the machining performance of high-speed sawing and the lubrication and cooling efficiency of cutting fluid, a technology named electrostatic minimum quantity lubrication (EMQL) high-speed sawing with water-based nanofluid as cutting fluids was developed. The adsorption and motion characteristics of droplets on the solid surface under airflow were studied. Furthermore, the machinability of EMQL in high-speed sawing was explored. The results show that the charged droplet’s surface tension, static contact angle, and velocity under tangential airflow are lower than those of the uncharged droplet, while the dynamic contact angle hysteresis is higher. This indicates that the adsorbability of charged droplets on solid surface is enhanced. In high-speed sawing processing, the principal sawing force is reduced by 19% when the fluid is charged at − 4 kV. The reason may be that charging reduces the drag force of the droplet and increases the capillary force generated by the deformation of the contact line between the droplet and the solid surface, which enhances the adsorption capacity of the charged droplets on the sawtooth surfaces and improves the lubrication performance of the sawing area.
