Welcome to NCOC INC, today we want to share important information for the metal-mechanical industry as a leading company in chemical solutions for the industry, we are interested in giving you relevant data on the different Metalworking Fluids in Michigan.
Below we present the different types such as straight cutting oils, water base cutting fluids, synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids so that you have the necessary details when purchasing any of them for your operation.
Functions of Metalworking Fluids
Used for cutting and grinding operations to control temperature by providing cooling and lubrication. This function helps to improve the tool life and get a better finish part. Wen can use also these fluids with the correct pressure to the remove swarf and dust from the workpiece. These Metalworking Fluids in Michigan also can be used for the lubrication of other parts of the machinery such as slideways and screws. And finally general corrosion protection of the workpiece and exposed metal parts of the machine tool.
Straight Cutting Oils
These types of products are fluids based on mineral oils and used for metal cutting without further dilution. They are generally blends of mineral oils and other additives. We have different viscosity levels on these cutting oils, and you have to choose the correct one according to your operation. You need more viscosity if your cut is aggressive, but if your operation is lighter then you can use an oil with less viscosity.
Water Base Cutting Fluids
Soluble oils
These are produced by mixing mineral oil with emulsifiers so that when added to water they emulsify spontaneously, producing an emulsion or dispersion of the oil in water.
We can use it in drilling , machining and tapping operations that needs good lubrication. We just have to keep clean the tank as much as possible beacuse the bacterias likes the mineral oil and we can have bad odors.
Semi-Synthetics
This concentrated fluid contain less mineral oil than a soluble and has more chemical products that helps to avoid bad odors and bacterias in the tank.
The lubricity is good for drilling, tapping and machining operations from ligtht to medium. Semi-synthetics form a clear and clean emulsions.
Synthetics
This cutting fluids in this gropu are completely free of mineral oil. True synthetics consists of polymers and other organic and inorganic materials mixed with water. If your machine has more than 20 years old, and you have been used a soluble with oil, you must be carefull if you want to swith to a synthetic.
The seals and the paint of the machine could be damage. But if your machine is less than 20 years old, you can move to a synthetic with the correct concentration and you will have a clean operation.
Metalworking fluids in Michigan are money in your operation, you can save cost if you use them in the correct way. We always recommend the product that your operation needs, no the cheapest or most expense, just the want that you need.
We hope that the information is useful for you and your business, and if you have any questions or comments, contact us for personalized advice and to offer you the best in chemical solutions for the industry.
