In modern manufacturing, cutting processing is an indispensable part. However, the use of cutting fluid in traditional cutting processing not only increases production costs, but may also have a negative impact on the environment. In recent years, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the popularization of the concept of green manufacturing, dry cutting technology has gradually received attention. In this context, as a high-precision, wear-resistant cutting tool, whether the ball knife supports dry cutting to reduce the use of cutting fluid and reduce environmental impact has become a topic worth discussing.
The ball knife, with its unique spherical edge design and excellent cutting performance, performs well in processing aluminum, plastics, castings, copper, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, tin alloys, copper alloys and other materials. Its high precision and wear resistance make the ball knife have a wide range of application prospects in the field of precision machining. And dry cutting technology, as an advanced processing method aimed at reducing the use of cutting fluid and reducing environmental impact, is gradually becoming an important direction for the green transformation of the manufacturing industry.
The combination of ball knife and dry cutting is actually a win-win choice. On the one hand, the high hardness and toughness of the ball knife enable it to withstand the high temperature and high cutting force generated during dry cutting and maintain stable cutting performance. On the other hand, the application of dry cutting technology avoids the use of cutting fluid, which not only reduces production costs, but also reduces the pollution of cutting fluid to the environment.
During dry cutting, the ball knife needs to have good heat resistance and wear resistance to cope with the thermal expansion of materials and tool wear at high temperatures. Fortunately, modern ball knife manufacturing technology has been able to meet these requirements. By adopting advanced coating technology and heat treatment processes, the heat resistance and wear resistance of the ball knife have been significantly improved, enabling it to maintain stable cutting performance during dry cutting.
In addition, dry cutting also requires the tool to have a small friction coefficient and chip removal performance to reduce cutting force and cutting temperature, and avoid overheating and wear of the tool and workpiece. The spherical edge design of the ball knife just meets this requirement. Its unique edge shape can reduce friction and resistance during cutting and improve cutting efficiency. At the same time, the chip removal performance of the ball knife also ensures that the chips generated during cutting can be discharged in time to avoid the occurrence of built-up edge and tool clogging.
In summary, the combination of ball knife and dry cutting is an efficient and environmentally friendly processing method. The high precision, wear resistance and unique edge design of the ball knife enable it to maintain stable cutting performance during dry cutting, while the application of dry cutting technology avoids the use of cutting fluid, reduces production costs and environmental pollution. With the popularization of the concept of green manufacturing and the continuous transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the combination of ball knife and dry cutting will play an increasingly important role in the future manufacturing industry.
