Fuchs Lubricants Metal Working Fluids
Metalworking fluids come in a variety of forms, each with different
properties essential for a specific application. Fuchs has over 70 year
experience providing a full range of industrial and metalworking
lubricants to industry. For advice on the selection of the best fluid
for your application, please contact your Fuchs sales representative.
Selecting the Correct Metalworking Fluid
Deciding the correct fluid for an application is not straightforward, as
many factors will affect product selection.
These include:
• Material
• Operation
• Coolant System
• Safety
• Environment
As a general rule, low speeds and heavy cuts require the use of neat
oils, whereas operations involving high speeds and light cuts require
cooling. These applications are best served by water miscible fluids.
One of the most cost effective EP additives currently in use is
chlorinated paraffin. This type of compound is being increasingly
replaced by chlorine free alternatives due to environmental concerns
over their disposal.
Fuchs is a specialists in the development of metalworking fluids,
and offers a complete range of both chlorinated and chlorine-free
products suitable for all metals and machining operations. To assist
with selection of the most suitable fluid for you application, refer to
the application charts found in this brochure.
Neat Metalworking Fluids
Neat metalworking fluids are generally blends of mineral oil and
additives. As neat metal working fluids are not diluted with water they
offer a greater suitability for arduous tasks. However considerations
must be made as to their reduced cooling capabilities compared to
the water miscible cutting fluids.
Products for the most
demanding applications:
Water Miscible Cutting Fluids
Water miscible cutting fluids generally contain all of the ingredients
of a neat cutting fluid but as these products are designed for use
diluted with water, they also contain corrosion inhibitors, biocides
and emulsifying agents. Some water miscible cutting fluids are
mineral oil free, and these are generally known as “synthetic”
products.
Water miscible cutting fluids are designed for use where maximum
cooling effect is required. As they are typically used at concentrations
of 10% or lower, the amount of additive in the working product is
naturally less than that contained in a neat cutting fluid. Therefore,
these products are more usually employed in areas of high speeds
and light cuts. For jobs involving both high speeds and heavy cuts,
water miscible fluids compounded with EP additives are used.
Selection of a water miscible cutting fluid is similar to the selecting
a neat cutting fluid, however other factors such as water quality,
emulsion clarity and foaming characteristics of the fluids must be
taken into consideration. To assist in the selection of the appropriate
Fuchs product for your application refer to the water miscible cutting
fluids application chart in this brochure.
Maintenance of Water Miscible Coolants
The longevity and performance of a coolant depends on good
housekeeping, correct usage and storage.
Water based fluids can often become infected with micro-organisms,
and although contamination is unavoidable, good house keeping
and a regular maintenance program can help prevent degradation
of the fluid , corrosion of parts and machine components, loss of
cutting performance and the generation of offensive odours. The
information below is a guide to the correct maintenance of the
water miscible fluids.
Control Micro-organisms
Most water miscible cutting fluids provide favourable conditions for
the growth of many types of bacteria and fungi.
These micro-organisms can enter the fluid in many ways – via the
water supply, general environment, work piece material and the
operator. Failing to regularly monitor and treat bacterial and fungal
contamination will eventually lead to unscheduled downtime, lost
production and increased costs.
Biochemical activity (bacterial and fungal growth) is generally
measured by using dip slides. Treatment of contaminated systems
will vary depending on the type of contamination (whether bacterial
or fungal) and its severity.
Monitor Fluid Concentration
As with all water miscible metalworking fluids, concentration control
is vital. Too low a concentration can lead to corrosion problems,
poor cutting tool life, and provide the opportunity for increased
biochemical activity. A concentration too high can result in skin
irritation problems and poor tool life. It is therefore critical that the
strength of the emulsion is regularly checked. The simplest method
by using a hand held refractometer.
Keep System Clean.
System cleanliness is essential if its full benefits are to be realized.
It is always recommended that a system cleaner such as MTC 9114
Machine Tool Cleaner is used prior to filling with clean coolant to
ensure maximum service life.
It is important to remove swarf, tramp oil, general debris, and to
maintain a reasonable level of housekeeping. Tramp oil will promote
the growth of bacteria and the use of skimmers will minimize
potential problems and result in cleaner machines, work pieces and
operator environment.
Fuchs offers a complete range of system maintenance products
including refractometers, tramp oil skimmers, system cleaners
and additives for the control of micro organisms. Where control of
micro-organisms is problematic, Fuchs has developed a specialised
range of products that are particularly resistant to microbial attack.
We can also recommend the appropriate lubricants for machine tool
hydraulics, slidway and lube systems.
For more information on cutting fluids or the services and
maintenance products available from Fuchs please contact your
local Fuchs representative.
