ETH NO. 26546 Developing Metalworking Fluids for Titanium Cutting A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCES of ETH ZURICH (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) presented by LINUS MEIER MSc ETH Mechanical Engineering born on 17.04.1992 citizen of Rafz (ZH) accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. K. Wegener, examiner Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. V. Schulze, co-examiner 2020 Acknowledgements This thesis was written during my occupation as a research assistant at the Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing (IWF) at ETH Zurich. Most of the research was conducted as part of a research project between the company Blaser Swisslube and IWF, which was supported by innosuisse. Foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Wegener. He was able to quickly grasp the challenges of my research and gave great advice, while at the same time leaving enough freedom for me to pursue my own ideas. A special thank-you goes to my co-examiner Prof. Schulze. He gave me valuable advice concerning this work and the corresponding publications. I am also very grateful for the collaboration with Blaser Swisslube. I gained deep insights in the industrial development of metalworking fluids and I was supported by the staff while doing basic research. I would like to specially mention Simon Balz, who performed many of the cutting tests and gave advice on test design; Manfred Schneeberger, who led the project; Dr. Michael Eglin, who shared his knowledge about neat oil development; Dr. Olivia Bossard, who shared her knowledge about emulsion development; Marco Tognali, who planned and prepared many of the required test fluids and Dr. Niklaus Ruttimann,¨ who coordinated the industrial and scientific research. I thank my colleagues at ETH Zurich: my longtime office colleagues Martina Spahni and Sebastian B¨ohl for the fruitful discussions, Jona Engel for the advice in topics related to material science, Knut Krieger for the introduction in metallurgical lab techniques, Philipp Stoll for the advice in designing for additive manufacturing and the manufacturing of a part in SLM, the workshop team Sandro Wigger and Albert Weber for their excellent manufacturing skills, Jens Boos for the advice on process control, Dr. Oscar Laurent for the introduction into advanced surface analytics, PD Dr. Jean-Paul Kunsch for the advice in fluid dynamics and Prof. Bernhard Elsener for the advice in corrosion phenomena. I thank Michael Bettati for his excellent proofreading, including both linguistic and techn- ical advice. III Finally, I thank my partner, family and friends for the support during the preparation of this work.
