Nanoscale cutting fluid: the new star of the market, the challenger of traditional cutting fluid
In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous progress of industrial manufacturing, cutting fluid, as an indispensable and important auxiliary material in metal processing, has also ushered in new changes. Nanoscale cutting fluid, as a new type of
Metal Working Fluid, is gradually replacing traditional cutting fluid and becoming a new star in the market with its excellent performance and environmental protection characteristics. This change not only makes traditional cutting fluids feel unprecedented pressure, but also promotes the upgrading and transformation of the entire metal processing industry.
The rise of nanoscale cutting fluids
Nano-scale cutting fluid is a new type of cutting fluid developed in recent years, which is mainly composed of nano-scale materials, emulsifiers, stabilizers and so on. This cutting fluid can play a significant cutting lubrication effect at the micro scale, which has brought revolutionary changes to metal processing. The rise of nanoscale cutting fluid, thanks to its unique nanotechnology and advanced formula design, makes it have an incomparable advantage over traditional cutting fluid.
The advantages of nano-scale cutting fluid compared with traditional cutting fluid
1. Higher thermal stability and lubricity
In the cutting process, although the traditional cutting fluid can take away the heat, cool the workpiece and the tool, due to its limited thermal conductivity, it is often unable to effectively reduce the temperature of the cutting zone. The thermal conductivity of nanoscale cutting fluid is significantly improved by adding nano-scale materials. The addition of nanoparticles reduces the internal thermal resistance and increases the internal heat transfer, so that the cutting fluid can better absorb and disperse the heat generated during the cutting process. At the same time, the Brownian motion formed by the nanoparticles in the base fluid also plays a better lubrication role, reducing the friction between the tool and the workpiece, thereby reducing the cutting force and cutting temperature.
2. Stronger wear resistance and oxidation resistance
During the use of traditional cutting fluid, it is easy to be affected by cutting chips, oxidation, microorganisms and other factors, resulting in a decline in the performance of the cutting fluid, and even deterioration. The wear resistance and oxidation resistance of nano-scale cutting fluid are significantly improved through advanced formulation design and application of nanotechnology. Nano-scale materials can form a protective film to prevent the active ingredients in the cutting fluid from being oxidized or decomposed, thereby extending the service life of the cutting fluid. At the same time, the nanoscale cutting fluid can also reduce the wear during the cutting process and improve the service life and processing accuracy of the tool.
3. Better environmental performance
Traditional cutting fluids often contain a variety of additives, which are easy to volatilize or leak during the cutting process, causing pollution to the environment. At the same time, the storage and treatment of cutting fluid also requires strict conditions, increasing the operating costs of enterprises. Nano-level cutting fluid through the use of non-toxic and harmless environmentally friendly materials, as well as advanced production processes, so that the cutting fluid in the use of the environmental impact to minimize. In addition, nanoscale cutting fluid also has better biodegradability, which can reduce pollution and damage to the environment.
4. Wider application field
Due to the limitation of its performance, traditional cutting fluids can only be applied to some specific cutting processes and workpiece materials. Nanoscale cutting fluid can be applied to various cutting processes and workpiece materials by virtue of its excellent performance and wide applicability. Whether it is high-speed cutting, heavy cutting or ultra-precision machining, nanoscale cutting fluids can provide excellent cutting lubrication and machining quality. This makes nanoscale cutting fluid widely used and recognized in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, precision instruments and other fields.
