Metal Cutting Fluids are specially formulated liquids used in metalworking processes to improve the performance and lifespan of both cutting tools and workpieces. These fluids can be classified into various types, each with distinct properties and uses.
Water-Soluble Fluids (Soap Oils): These are typically diluted with water to form emulsions. They provide excellent cooling properties and are used in operations where heat removal is critical.
Straight Oils: These are undiluted oils used in processes requiring superior lubrication and finishing. They are commonly used in precision machining and threading operations.
Synthetic Fluids: These contain no mineral oil and consist of synthetic lubricants and additives. They offer excellent cooling and cleaning properties.
These fluids are critical for achieving high-quality surface finishes, maintaining dimensional accuracy, and improving the overall performance of metalworking processes.
