← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a lathe's lubrication system uses cutting fluid with high tramp oil contamination?
A)Excessive tool wear and chatter✓
B)Increased spindle motor overheating
C)Reduced surface finish consistency
D)Elevated hydraulic pressure oscillations
💡 Explanation
Excessive tool wear results from the **Boundary Lubrication failure**, because the diminished lubricating properties cause increased friction between the tool and workpiece; therefore, tool life decreases rather than alternative hydraulic or motor stress/failure modes at nominal temp/pressure.
