USE OF CARBON NANOTUBES AS NONEPISODIC TO EQUIPMENT WHEN CUTTING METALS
It is proposed to use modified carbon nanotubes as an active coolant component. This allows to reduce the cutting torque for drilling operations by 20% compared to cutting with the use of basic coolant, as well as to improve the performance of high-speed tools up to 7.5 times and reduce the average value Of the RA treated surface by 20% for turning operations. On the basis of the conducted researches the hypothetical mechanism of action explaining influence of additives modified by carbon nanotubes on processes of blade processing of metals is put forward.
