Abstract
THE mode of action by which lubricants reduce cutting forces during machining operations has been the subject of many conflicting hypotheses1–5. Shaw et al.6 stimulated new interest in this field with the observation that carbon tetrachloride caused a reduction in cutting forces of some 10–15 per cent if applied to the workpiece surface and allowed to evaporate immediately before cutting. This phenomenon has been the subject of a recent investigation in which both 14CCl4 and C36Cl4 were used to study the location and distribution of the tagged species in copper chips cut at slow speed.
