In the field of modern metal processing, cutting fluid, as an indispensable auxiliary material, has a vital impact on processing quality, tool life and production efficiency. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and increasingly stringent regulations, phosphorus-free cutting fluid, as a new type of green and environmentally friendly cutting fluid, has gradually gained favor in the market.
Phosphorus-free cutting fluid, as the name implies, is a cutting fluid that does not contain phosphorus. Phosphorus is often used as a rust inhibitor and extreme pressure additive in traditional cutting fluids to improve the anti-rust performance and extreme pressure lubrication ability of cutting fluids. However, phosphorus causes great pollution to the environment, especially the eutrophication of water bodies, making the development and application of phosphorus-free cutting fluids an inevitable trend. Phosphorus-free cutting fluids achieve similar or even better performance than traditional cutting fluids by using new environmentally friendly additives such as synthetic fats, extreme pressure agents, rust inhibitors, fungicides, etc., while greatly reducing the negative impact on the environment.
Characteristics of phosphorus-free cutting fluid
1. Environmentally friendly: The biggest feature of phosphorus-free cutting fluid is its environmental friendliness. It does not contain toxic and harmful substances such as phosphorus, nitrites, phenols, etc., has good biodegradability, reduces pollution to water bodies, and meets the requirements of modern industrial green development.
2. Superior performance: Although phosphorus-free, modern phosphorus-free cutting fluid can still maintain excellent lubricity, cooling, permeability and rust resistance through scientific formula design. During the cutting process, it can effectively reduce workpiece scratches and wear, increase cutting speed, and extend tool life.
3. Strong antibacterial property: The bactericide added to phosphorus-free cutting fluid can effectively inhibit bacterial growth, prevent the cutting fluid from stinking and deteriorating, maintain the stability and cleanliness of the cutting fluid, and extend the service life.
4. Wide application: Phosphorus-free cutting fluid is suitable for cutting, drilling, tapping and other processing processes of various metal materials, including non-ferrous metals, iron parts, steel parts, etc., and has a wide range of applicability.
Cost-effectiveness analysis
From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, although the initial investment cost of phosphorus-free cutting fluid may be slightly higher than that of some traditional cutting fluids, its long-term benefits are significant. First, the good environmental performance of phosphorus-free cutting fluid reduces the environmental pressure and cost of enterprises, and avoids fines and rectification costs that may be faced due to environmental pollution. Secondly, the excellent performance of phosphorus-free cutting fluid can improve processing quality, reduce tool wear and workpiece scrap rate, thereby reducing production costs. Furthermore, its good antibacterial property and stability extend the service life of cutting fluid, reduce replacement frequency and waste fluid treatment costs. Overall, phosphorus-free cutting fluid shows a high cost-effectiveness in improving production efficiency and product quality and reducing overall costs.
In addition, with the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the improvement of consumers' environmental awareness, the use of phosphorus-free cutting fluid has become an important way for enterprises to enhance their brand image and fulfill their social responsibilities. In the fierce market competition, enterprises choose phosphorus-free cutting fluid not only to be responsible for their own development, but also to contribute to the social environment.
In summary, phosphorus-free cutting fluid has shown strong vitality and broad application prospects in the field of modern metal processing with its environmental friendliness, superior performance, strong antibacterial property and wide application. With the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual reduction of costs, phosphorus-free cutting fluid will become one of the mainstream products in the cutting fluid market in the future.
