Water-based cutting fluid is an environmentally friendly cutting fluid, which is a cooling, lubricating, rust prevention and cleaning agent specially designed for metal cutting processes, and is widely used in metal cutting processing. It has the functions of cooling, lubrication, rust prevention, chip removal and cleaning, which can effectively extend the service life of the knife and reduce the processing cost.
First, the effect. When used in the right concentration, the water-based cutting fluid can significantly reduce the friction and temperature in the cutting process, reduce tool wear, and improve machining accuracy and surface quality. In addition, it effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria and algae, prevents corrosion of workpieces and knives, and carries away chips for easy cleaning.
1.Cooling effect: Water-based cutting fluid can effectively reduce the temperature between the tool and the workpiece, prevent excessive wear of the tool, and prolong the tool life.
2.Lubrication effect: water-based cutting fluid can form a lubricating film between the tool and the workpiece, reducing friction and wear, and improving cutting efficiency.
3.Cleaning effect: Water-based cutting fluids effectively clean chips and residues, helping to keep the work area tidy.
4.Anti-rust effect: For workpieces that need to be stored for a long time, water-based cutting fluids have anti-rust functions and help reduce the risk of rust.
2. Ingredients. The formulation of water-based cutting fluids consists of water-based cutting fluids (water and emulsifiers), lubricants (such as mineral oils, polymers, etc.), rust inhibitors), surfactants (such as K12, etc.), and additives (such as preservatives, defoamers, etc.).
Water-based agent: The main ingredient is water and some surfactants, which provide good flowability and emulsion stability.
Rust inhibitors: help form a protective layer on the metal surface to prevent rust.
Extreme pressure agent: It has anti-oxidation and anti-wear properties, and can form a protective film between the knife and the workpiece to reduce friction and wear.
Lubricants: help reduce the coefficient of friction and rolling resistance, reducing power loss.
Additives: used to improve the performance of water-based cutting fluids, such as viscosity, pH, cleanliness, corrosion resistance, etc.
3. Use. Water-based cutting fluids are suitable for all kinds of metal cutting operations, such as turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc. It is suitable for various types of machine tools, such as CNC machine tools, machining centers, etc. It is widely used in automotive, aerospace, home appliance manufacturing, mold and other industries.
Fourth, prospects. With the improvement of environmental awareness and environmental protection requirements, the market prospect of water-based cutting fluid is very broad. It has the characteristics of environmental protection, safety and high efficiency, which meets the needs of the modern processing industry and is expected to be more widely used in the future. At the same time, with the advancement of technology, the performance of water-based cutting fluids will also be further improved, bringing better benefits to the processing industry.
