Different metal mechanical processing methods have different requirements for metalworking fluids. The following are the requirements for metalworking fluids in several major mechanical processing methods in the automotive manufacturing industry:

Drilling and reaming

Both of these processing methods have relatively high requirements for the lubrication and cooling performance of metalworking fluids. Generally, semi-synthetic metalworking fluids containing extreme pressure additives with better lubrication performance should be selected, which not only ensures their lubrication performance but also provides good cooling performance. Especially when using MAPAL reamers to process hard materials, it is necessary to select metalworking fluids with good lubricating performance to ensure the surface accuracy of the reamed holes.

(2) Turning and milling

For the mechanical processing of general steel and cast iron materials, the processing method usually involves a relatively fast cutting speed, generating a considerable amount of heat. Sufficient cooling is required, and emulsified and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids can be used. For instance, our company's RISSSOIL SE226 semi-synthetic metalworking fluid. RISSSOIL SE204 semi-synthetic metalworking fluid is suitable for processing steel and aluminum alloy materials with high requirements for lubrication performance.

(3) Grinding

Grinding processing is relatively fast, and it has high requirements for the cooling and lubricating performance of metalworking fluids. During grinding processing, it is necessary to reduce the friction between the abrasive and the workpiece surface in the contact area, thereby lowering the temperature on the grinding surface. This requires the metalworking fluid to provide good lubrication performance and be accompanied by the flushing of a large flow of metalworking fluid to remove heat and meet the processing accuracy requirements of grinding. The selection of metalworking fluids for grinding operations is relatively complex and requires consideration of many factors, such as the material of the workpiece, the material of the grinding wheel, the grinding method, and the cutting parameters. For grinding operations, RISSSOIL Y304 fully synthetic metalworking fluid is a good choice based on the actual processing conditions.

The above is only a brief introduction to the selection of metalworking fluids under several different common processing methods, and only takes into account the more important factors. In fact, the selection of metalworking fluids also needs to consider other related factors, such as: the type of metal mechanical processing; Metal materials of processed parts; Cutting tool materials and types; Recommendations from equipment manufacturers; Comprehensive cost considerations (including initial expenses and maintenance); Environmental factors (including safety factors, personnel health factors, etc.).

In the automotive manufacturing industry, such as in the mechanical processing of engines and transmissions, a CNC machining center may involve several processing methods. Since the requirements for metalworking fluids in various processing methods are not exactly the same, when choosing a metalworking fluid, the first consideration should be that the metalworking fluid must be able to meet the performance requirements of the most difficult processing method among them. Secondly, consider taking into account the requirements of other processing methods for metalworking fluids to select the appropriate metalworking fluid.

Good metalworking fluids have the following characteristics:

The product effectively prevents the erosion and influence of bacteria and fungi, significantly extending its service life and saving the cost of storage and maintenance. This product also has excellent wetting and adhesion properties, reducing the splashing loss of cutting fluid and cleaning the environment.

The extreme pressure additive with special effects in the product can effectively prevent metal welding and sticking, which can well protect the surface of the machine and the tool, and also prevent the tool from sticking or seizing with the tool rest and tool holder.

After use, the coolant can be removed very conveniently with water, processing solution or water-based cleaning agent. Users can dispose of the products by using the existing technology and equipment and following the common treatment methods.

The product is compatible with the vast majority of processing materials, including: cast iron, steel parts, copper, aluminum alloys, as well as various plastics and compounds.

Metal cutting fluids have a good balance in terms of cooling performance and lubricating performance. Its low water mist and low foam characteristics make it highly suitable for high-pressure and high-flow coolant systems. The product has a wide range of applications and can be effectively used in some harsh processing and production conditions, such as surface processing, centerless grinding, heavy broaching, gear milling holes, thread milling, etc.
