If cutting oil does not bring the desired effects, it will be difficult to gain the trust and choice of users. Therefore, metal cutting oil brings many benefits such as:
• Cooling effect
During metal processing, heat is generated by friction and energy is lost due to material deformation. Furthermore, machines operate continuously for long periods of time, unable to stop to cool down the machine's parts and details.
Failure to cool promptly not only causes machinery to quickly break down, has poor working efficiency, and affects the economy. It also causes processed products to not meet quality requirements in both form and quality.
Therefore, the best method in this matter is to choose metal cutting oil to cool the parts, effectively reducing heat for workpieces and tools.
• Lubricating effect
The rhythm and stability of machinery, especially parts such as knives and grinding tools, require oil to lubricate. Additives that help lubricate and prevent wear will be included in the metal cutting oil in appropriate proportions to help provide perfect, more rhythmic lubrication.
At the same time, it also helps protect knife and scissors parts from corroding or needing to be constantly replaced. When the workpiece is cut, it will also be accurate and the machined surface will not be rough.
• Cleaning effect - filtering metal dust residue
When processing products, there will definitely be dust and workpieces left behind. Of course, if not treated promptly, it will create a favorable environment for harmful organisms to grow, affecting other details and parts.
While metal cutting oils contain high detergent content, removing debris cleans everything. High-quality oils also produce little foam, ensuring even high-speed machining.
In recent years, cutting oils have been exploited and put into use in many different types of production. Because of the benefits they bring, they really solve many problems for producers and businesses.
Composition and classification of metal cutting oils
No information is redundant if you want to clearly understand the product you are using and preparing to buy. Therefore, let's see what ingredients are in the product and how many types there are below.
• Metal cutting oil ingredients
When mentioning metal cutting oil, the following ingredients are indispensable: mineral oil, emulsifier, extreme pressure agent EF, lubricant, anti-rust agent, anti-foam agent, metal deactivator, antibacterial agent, PH stabilizer, emulsion stabilizer, deionized water, wetting agent, detergent...
However, not all metal cutting oils have all the above ingredients. There are types that will be balanced and adjusted to different ingredients depending on the requirements and purpose of use.
That's why when buying metal cutting oil, you need to clearly understand the product's ingredients. Choose the right type of oil that suits your requirements, intended use, and type of processed product. Not all cutting oils are the same, so you need to pay close attention to this issue.
• Classification of metal cutting oils
Currently, cutting oils are divided into three main types: mineral oils, semi-synthetic oils and synthetic oils.
o Synthetic cutting oil has rust inhibitory properties, prevents heat gain and is environmentally safe. But the problem is that water is a coolant so it easily causes rust and does not lubricate well. Many special additives are needed to create better cutting oils.
o Mineral-based cutting oil is characterized by its high sulfur content and dark color, so it is used for heavy and light industries.
o Semi-synthetic cutting oils are also called water-soluble oils. Used widely in CNC machine processing, metal processing, molds...
Understanding the product will make it easier to see how to use or exploit it effectively.
