Investigation of the influence of coolant-lubricant modification on selected effects of pull broaching

Abstract

The paper presents the results of testing the wear of the tool (pull broach) and a gear wheel splineway surface roughness after the friction node of pull broach/gear wheel (CuSn12Ni2) had been lubricated with metal machining oil and the same oil modified with chemically active exploitation additive. To designate the influence of modifying metal machining oil by the exploitation additive on the lubricating properties, anti-wear and antiseizure indicators have been appointed. Exploitation tests have proved purposefulness of modifying metal machining oil. Modification of the lubricant has contributed to reduction of the wear of the tools – pull broaches and to reduction of roughness of the splineway surfaces.
