What are the advantages of the application of phosphate ester aqueous extreme pressure agent in metal working fluids?
In the field of metal processing, lubrication and cooling have always been the key links to improve processing efficiency and ensure product quality. With the continuous development of industrial technology, Metal Working Fluid as the core material of this link, its performance requirements are increasingly stringent. As a new type of additive, phosphate ester aqueous extreme pressure agent (EP) has been widely used in metal working fluids because of its unique properties.
First, the basic characteristics of phosphate ester aqueous extreme pressure agent
Phosphate ester water extreme pressure agent is an additive with excellent extreme pressure properties, which can form a solid lubricating film on the metal surface and effectively prevent direct contact and wear between metals. At the same time, the additive also has good water solubility and stability, and can be fully integrated with other components in the metal processing fluid to form a uniform and stable lubrication system.
Second, the application of phosphate ester water-based extreme pressure agent in metal processing fluid
1. Improve processing efficiency
Phosphate ester water extreme pressure agent can effectively reduce the friction coefficient in metal processing, reduce cutting force and cutting heat, so as to reduce tool wear, improve cutting speed and machining accuracy. At the same time, due to the existence of the wet synovial film, the heat generated during the processing can be dissipated in time to avoid the deformation or crack of the workpiece due to overheating.
2. Protect machine tools and tools
The lubricating film formed by the water-based extreme pressure agent of phosphate ester can isolate the contact between the metal surface and the external environment such as air and water, and prevent the corrosion and oxidation of machine tools and tools. In addition, the additive can effectively prevent metal chips from adhering to the tool during cutting, reduce the difficulty of cleaning the tool, and extend the service life of the tool.
3. Environmental protection and energy saving
Compared with the traditional liquid phase of oil-based metal processing, the phosphate ester water extreme pressure agent has better environmental performance. It does not contain oil components, produces less waste during use, and is easy to handle. At the same time, due to its excellent extreme pressure performance, it can reduce the amount of cutting fluid and replacement frequency, reduce production costs and energy consumption.
4. You're adaptable
Phosphate ester water extreme pressure agent is suitable for the processing of various metal materials, including stainless steel, alloy steel, cast iron and so on. At the same time, it is also suitable for different processing methods and processing conditions, such as turning, milling, grinding and so on. This makes the phosphate ester water extreme pressure agent have a wide application prospect in the field of metal processing.
Iii. Conclusion
As a new type of Metal Working Fluid Additive, phosphate ester water extreme pressure agent has been widely used in the field of metal working for its excellent extreme pressure performance, environmental protection and energy saving characteristics and wide adaptability. With the continuous progress of industrial technology and the increasingly strict requirements of environmental protection, the application prospect of phosphate ester waterborne extreme pressure agent will be broader. In the future, we have reason to believe that in the development and application of metal processing fluids, phosphate ester water extreme pressure agents will play an increasingly important role.
