During any mechanical metal processing operation, strong friction occurs between the workpiece and the equipment, which causes the strongest heating of the contacting surfaces. In the future, this will certainly lead to rapid wear of tools and equipment. In addition, the structure of the processed material changes and, as a result, the low quality of the processed surface. To avoid all these troubles, it is necessary to use special lubricating and cooling process fluids or coolants.
What are cutting fluids?
These are multi-component compositions, the main function of which is to cool and lubricate as much as possible two working surfaces during metalworking. Also, the additives that make up the coolant, firstly, additionally provide protection against corrosion, and secondly, increase the wear resistance of the tool and the quality of the machined surface. Moreover, they increase conservation properties and so on.
What are coolants?
Depending on the components that make up the coolant, there are:
1 . Oil or non-water-miscible cutting fluids
2 .Water-miscible (which in turn are divided into coolants with a high oil content, synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants)
In the coolant line from JSC Khimprom oil COOL DEFENDER-OIL is a ready-to-use product that does not require dilution. It has unique lubricating, anticorrosive and extreme pressure properties. Increases the quality of surface treatment by up to 35%.
Water-miscible coolants are most often presented as a concentrate, which should be diluted with water (see the article “10 rules for the use of coolants”).< /span>
A range of water-miscible synthetic coolants from AO Khimprom LLC:
- SOZH BIOL-UNIVERSAL< /span>( universal coolant)
- BIOL-ECO (for processing parts with a long interoperational shelf life)< /li>
- BIOL-LEMON (has unique antibacterial properties, for working on machines after bacterial infection)
Water-miscible semi-synthetic coolant:
List of water-miscible cutting oils with high oil content:
- DEFENDER-PRO (for heavy and extra heavy operations)
- DEFENDER-ZOOM ( for band saws)
- TUV -95 ( for machining high alloy steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals)
Undoubtedly, the choice of coolant depends on the consumer’s requirements for its properties, metal processing technology, metal type, interoperational storage time and other individual production features .
It is important to understand that the funds spent on the purchase of coolant will more than pay off for you on the increased, thanks to the cutting fluid, the life of the cutting tool and equipment. And, of course, on reducing energy costs, as well as improving the quality of metal processing.
Contact the sales department and experienced managers will advise you on what coolant to buy specifically for your production. They will also provide expert technical support at all stages of the operation of the cutting fluid.
