Lubrication on machining processes

The world of refrigerants is increasingly varied and complex, has evolved from the two lubricant for the workshop (white and green) to have a wide variety depending on variables such as the type of material to be machined, the type of water in which it will emulsify oil, driving and machine filtration systems, etc.

The lubricant can be as important as coating or type of tool geometry we use. Improper selection of the lubricant can make that chip is not dislodge correctly, or that the temperature at the point of work greater than required by coating.

In the case of cutting and lubricant oils we will always find two important points to comply, the cooling and lubrication. While refrigeration will allow us to cool down the point of contact in the machining, evict best chip and prevent the material from sticking on the cutting edge of the tool, lubrication will make the tool wear less and reduce the forces exerted by the tool avoiding larger on her effort.

Many customers pose a lubricant that is universal for all types of materials, but the needs of a stainless steel, will never be the same as a brass or cast iron material.
The selection of an intermediate product in the case of emulsifiable oils will give us the versatility of cooling in easy machining materials and be able to upload the concentration in the event that is going to work with other types of materials in order to enhance its power of lubrication.

Use of refrigerants of high quality awareness is increasingly more not only for its benefits in machining and its increase in productivity, but by environmental regulations and environmental efforts.
The disposal of used lubricants is every day more expensive for companies, depending on the type of waste, those costs may be greater due to contain substances harmful to the environment. Getting that customer can prolong the use of lubricant for longer due to its high quality avoids the costs of recycling one of cleanings.
The product must be equally respectful with the operator and the machine, eliminating all kinds of products that can create irritations or allergies to the operator and are not aggressive with the machine.
To avoid all the problem of recycling is spoken every day in dry machining. Some coatings and applications are scheduled to be used without lubricant or with MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) systems. These systems today not could substitute global cooling by lubricant.

Current machines adapted to this type of system is complex, the eviction of the chip in large slab is a problem and the current tools are designed to work with cooling.
