Abstract
The article touches upon the problems of utilization of metal chips containing residues of cutting fluids. The research results are shown for nickel alloy chips washing to remove cutting fluids with the use of various reagents available on the current market. In the course of the research, an original colorimetric express method for assessing the contamination of metal chips was developed, which allows quickly and efficiently establishing the quantitative drop in the cutting fluids content in the chips after the washing. Conclusions are made as to the most effective reagent from the point of view of economics and quality of cutting fluid removal.
