From the perspective of sustainable development, the Metal cutting industry faces the urgent task of achieving green production.
First of all, in terms of technology and process, advanced cutting technologies such as high-speed cutting and ultra-high-speed cutting should be actively promoted. These technologies can improve processing efficiency, reduce processing time, and thus reduce energy consumption. At the same time, optimize cutting parameters, and accurately select appropriate cutting speeds, feed rates, and cutting depths according to different metal materials and processing requirements to achieve the best processing effect and the lowest energy consumption.
In tool selection, the development and use of new tool materials such as cemented carbide, ceramics, and superhard materials can improve the wear resistance and cutting performance of tools, extend tool life, reduce the frequency of tool replacement, and reduce resource consumption. In addition, the geometry of the tool should be reasonably designed to improve cutting efficiency, reduce the generation of cutting force and cutting heat, and reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution.
For the use of cutting fluids and coolants, alternatives to environmentally friendly products should be actively explored. For example, dry cutting technology can be used to reduce or completely eliminate the use of cutting fluids to avoid environmental pollution caused by cutting fluids. Or use cutting fluid with good biodegradability to reduce harm to the environment. At the same time, strengthen the recycling and treatment of cutting fluid to reduce waste fluid discharge.
In terms of equipment, promote energy-saving Metal cutting equipment, adopt advanced motor drive technology and control system, and improve energy utilization efficiency. Optimize the layout and process flow of equipment, reduce material handling and waiting time, and reduce energy consumption.
In addition, the Metal cutting industry should also strengthen the recycling of waste tools and metal chips. Establish a complete recycling system to repair and reuse waste tools, or recycle them as raw materials. For metal chips, they can be recycled by classification, briquetting, etc., and reinvested in metal production to achieve resource recycling.
In short, in order to achieve green production in the Metal cutting industry, it is necessary to start from multiple aspects such as technology, process, tools, equipment and resource recovery, and continuously innovate and improve to meet the requirements of sustainable development and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the industry.
