Aspectos e impactos ambientais na utilização dos fluidos de corte aplicados nos processos de usinagem

Abstract

Cutting fluids are commonly used in manufacturing processes to meet lubrication and refrigeration needs during material removal, however, their use causes a number of complications, especially in environmental, economic and health aspects Of machine operators. In this way, this work aims to describe the environmental aspects and impacts caused by cutting fluids, as well as to analyze, in a general way, its importance and applications used in the machining process, to verify the effects of cutting fluids on the environment And to human health, besides showing some suggestions of practices that contribute to the conservation of the environment in the use of the cutting fluids. It is observed that there is currently a great concern with nature and the workplace due to the harmful effects of cutting fluids, so studies have been intensified for new methods of application and optimization of such fluids with a view to their reduction, as well as the Problems caused by this and this tendency. It is noticed that through some practices suggested using environmental management tools and new methods of management it is possible to reduce this environmental and human aggression that the use of cutting fluids can cause, making a balance between productivity and respect to the Environment and worker
