It is better to use cutting fluid or emulsified oil for lathes
The use of cutting fluids or emulsified oils in lathes has its advantages and suitability, depending on the machining needs and budget.
Cutting fluid is an industrial fluid used in the process of metal cutting and grinding to cool and lubricate tools and machined parts. It is made of a variety of super functional additives through scientific compounding, and has good cooling performance, lubrication performance, anti-rust performance, degreasing and cleaning function, anti-corrosion function, and easy dilution characteristics.
Cutting fluid is suitable for the cutting and grinding of ferrous metals and hard metals, especially for the processing of hard metals and alloys such as stainless steel, die steel and alloy steel. The cutting fluid is better than saponified oil, it has the characteristics of good cooling, cleaning, rust prevention, etc., and has the characteristics of non-toxic, tasteless, no erosion of the human body, no corrosion of equipment, and no pollution to the environment.
Emulsified oil is a high-performance semi-synthetic metalworking fluid, which is particularly suitable for the processing of aluminum and its alloys, but not for materials containing lead, such as some brass and tin-based metals. Emulsions combine the lubricity and rust resistance of oil with the excellent cooling properties of water, and at the same time have good lubrication and cooling, so they are effective for high-speed and low-pressure metal cutting operations where a large amount of heat is generated.
For the processing needs of lathes, cutting fluid and emulsified oil have their advantages, and it is necessary to determine the material and feed amount of machining. From the point of view of cost performance, cutting fluid is better than emulsified oil.
