Abstract
Honing is a procedure treating the finest metal surfaces in order to achieve the required precision and quality of treated surfaces. Honing itself, as well as proceses of grating, milling, grinding, i.e. using cutting for the shaping of metal materials, is in its activity limited to a relatively thin surface layer of the workpiece, mostly causing cold plastic deformation, without any long-term impacts on either the structure or properties of the material.
When performing the process of honing, it is extremely important that the working surface be washed by considerable volumes of the cooling and lubrication agents. The working surface needs to be cooled, so as not to cause any structural change due to the processes of recrystallization and release. Apart from that, rinsing takes away the metal dust generated by honing, as well as the pulled out grinding wheel grains. Research in this area is today oriented towards applying new cooling and lubricating agents.
Based on economic and environmental analysis, as well as that of the quality of honing procedure when applying cooling and lubricating agents based on mineral oils, containing various types of additives, the paper also considers the possibility of applying new oils for the honing of cylinder bores.
