Mist Generation from High-Speed Grinding with Straight Oils.

The article presents a study which examines the performance and misting characteristics of several grinding oils. It notes the selection of oils to deal with a range of viscosities, additives, and oil types. It employs antimisting polymers to test two fluids that evaluates the decrease in mist after polymer addition. It discusses the mist generation mechanism such as centrifugally produced aerosols and condensation aerosols. The oil performance is tested considering the power and force monitors. Moreover, it presents the assessment of the mist generation as well as the reaction of higher fluid flows.
