Soluble Cutting Fluid - Enhancing Machining Performance with Superior Lubrication and Cooling Introducing our premium-quality Soluble Cutting Fluid, a chlorine-free, borate-containing soluble cutting oil designed for light to moderate machining operations. From boring and milling to threading and grinding, this cutting fluid excels in various machining applications. **Key Characteristics:** 1. Maximised Lubrication & Cooling: Soluble Cutting Fluid ensures optimal lubrication between cutting tools and work surfaces, promoting extended tool life and excellent surface finish. 2. Rust Protection: Offering rust protection to steel and ferrous machined metals, even at emulsion dilutions up to 60:1 water to oil concentrations. 3. Bacterial Resistance: Our cutting fluid contains an effective biocide, ensuring a long emulsion service life while resisting bacteriological degradation that could lead to staining and corrosion of machined components. 4. Long Tool Life: The high oiliness, low frictional, and excellent cooling properties of Soluble Cutting Fluid contribute to prolonged tool life and enhanced machining performance. 5. Unsurpassed Emulsion Stability: This cutting fluid provides exceptional emulsion stability in hard water, even up to 400 ppm calcium carbonate. **Recommendations for Dilutions:** - Turning, Milling, and Drilling: 3 - 5% - Threading, Reaming, and Tapping: 4 - 5% - Broaching: 4 - 5% - Grinding: 2.5% **Tips to Achieve Optimum Results:** - Carefully control the emulsion strength. - Prevent as much contamination as possible. - Promptly remove grinding dirt, chips, and other contaminants. CLASSIFICATION OF WORKPIECE METALS ACCORDING TO THEIR MACHINABILITY Easy machining – High machinability (> 70%) Medium machining- Medium machinability (50% - 70%) Difficult machining – Low machinability (< 50%) Non-ferrous - Leaded bronzes - Non-leaded brasses - Zinc-base alloys - Magnesium - Aluminium - Aluminium/silicon alloys Non-ferrous - High tensile bronzes - Copper Ferrous - Cast iron - Mild, low carbon and unalloyed steels Non-ferrous - Nickel - Nickel/chrome alloys - Titanium Ferrous - High carbon and low alloyed steels (heat treatable steels, ball-bearing steels, construction steels, tool steels, etc.) - High carbon and high alloyed steels (stainless steels, high speed steels, heat resistant alloys, etc.) **Extending the Coolant Life:** Filtration of coolants is crucial, particularly in grinding systems with fine debris and cast-iron machining. Filtration enhances surface finishes and prolongs the coolant life. Addressing hydraulic equipment leaks is essential to avoid soil in the system. Trapped solid matter can plug filters and cause emulsion coagulation. Utilizing centrifuges or skimmers to remove "tramp oil" prevents harm to the operation. **Optimal Usage Considerations:** While emulsions can provide continuous service for up to a year with proper pH and emulsion strength control, various operating systems and conditions can influence coolant or emulsion longevity. We recommend checking equipment manufacturers' recommendations for performance requirements and general operating conditions before use.
