"Lubrication instead of Cooling"
By means of concentrated lubrication the friction at the cutting edge is considerably reduced, so that cooling as flood cooling is no longer necessary. Thermally relieved cutting edges result in higher tool life at increased feed rates and reduced cutting speeds.
The atomization of the lubricant into micro-particles causes a much better wetting and distribution of the lubricant when spraying at workpiece surface combined with a strong increase in the lubrication performance. This can be compared with some fog droplets on a window pane which uniformly adhere in contrast to raindrops immediately rolling off after hitting. Even at high pressure on the workpiece the microparticles adhere. Through the press force they extend their surface thus increasing the lubricating effect.
