The application of synthetic esters in metal cutting fluids has so many advantages!
March 27, 2022
As an important auxiliary material for metal processing, traditional cutting fluid products must have basic properties such as lubrication, cooling and cleaning. In the process of modern automobile manufacturing and machinery manufacturing, higher requirements are put forward for cutting fluids: to meet the requirements of high-speed machining processes for high cutting speed and large feed ratio, multi-material processing, low production costs, waste liquid treatment and working environment. and other requirements. The production of synthetic ester lubricating technology enables cutting fluid products using this technology to well meet the harsh requirements of modern automobile and machinery manufacturing industries for metal processing in the process of metal processing. Products manufactured with synthetic ester technology help to meet the requirements of precision machining indicators in high-speed production devices, obtain better cleaning, lubricity, cooling and rust resistance, as well as reduce customers' cutting fluid consumption and reduce Tool cost.
Synthetic ester and cutting fluid product characteristics Synthetic esters are compounds formed by the reaction of fatty acids and alcohols. On the one hand, it has the excellent lubricating properties of natural esters, and on the other hand, it provides the possibility for the formulator to precisely control the properties of the esters. By controlling the properties of esters, the inherent shortcomings of esters are reduced and their excellent characteristics are enhanced. In the process of metal processing, synthetic ester not only provides the buffering effect of liquid lubrication, but also provides the strong chemical adhesion of boundary lubrication, and can provide good extreme pressure lubrication performance like EP extreme pressure agent. Advantages of synthetic ester cutting fluid products: Cutting fluid products using synthetic ester technology have excellent lubricating properties, and extend boundary lubrication to the field of EP lubrication that previously used sulfur and chlorine, and can be used under extreme pressure without the use of EP additives such as sulfur and chlorine; Synthetic ester cutting fluid products are low-foaming products (too much foam will reduce the efficacy of cutting fluids), and can maintain the same performance in soft and hard water; biological stability properties help control the growth of microorganisms and solve the odorous, Environmental protection of extreme pressure additives; good easy cleaning, which helps to thoroughly clean excess residual liquid on tools and machine tools; The cutting fluid does not go through the storage time of dumping and refilling in the system, which has a longer service life and reduces cutting fluid consumption, labor costs and equipment downtime costs.
Application range of synthetic ester products Synthetic ester cutting fluid products are generally widely used in heavy-duty metal cutting processes. Aluminum alloy materials are currently widely used in automobile engines, transmissions, aviation equipment and other mechanical equipment industries, so the demand for special cutting fluids for aluminum alloy processing is increasing. The good lubricity and cooling required by the feed ratio can prolong the service life of the tool. Synthetic ester cutting fluids are biologically stable and do not require the use of additives and fungicides. This environmentally friendly product using synthetic ester technology replaces harmful extreme pressure additive products and reduces the cost of processing operations.
