Choose cutting oil or water-soluble cutting fluid for metalworking?


Metal processing is divided into: automotive construction, mold making, mechanical engineering, aerospace, shipbuilding, rail transport, etc. all belong to metal processing! The choice of cutting oil or water-soluble cutting fluid for metalworking then depends on the processing machine and the workpiece suitable for the cutting process. Let's go into detail about the selection of metalworking cutting fluids. The existing 6 industries are listed:


1. Automobile manufacturing: It is known that automotive oil is mixed with engine oil, but cutting fluid is used in the processing of motor vehicles. Cutting fluid plays a very important role in automotive construction! The cutting fluid used is somewhat emulsified, and the cutting fluid can ensure the rust and lubrication effect of automotive parts.

2. Mold making: Cutting fluid, which is oilier, is also used in mold manufacturing. Cutting fluid can have lubricating, rust protection, and other functions in the mold making industry and can also remove dirt.

3. Construction machinery: Construction machinery also uses cutting fluid, which is oilier. Rail oil, hydraulic oil, and other equipment oils for machines and devices. The processed parts require cutting fluid processing for rust prevention, cleaning, and other functions.

4. Aerospace: Aerospace parts are also processed with aviation aluminum cutting fluid, which can be used for cleaning, antioxidation, etc.

5. Shipbuilding: Shipbuilding essentially consists of iron or stainless steel, so the cutting fluid is oily! The rust protection cycle of cutting oil is relatively long. It is still relatively common in shipbuilding.


6. Rail transport: Cutting fluid is also used in the manufacture of parts for rail transport, and cutting oil is used when the rust protection cycle is strong. If there is a high demand for cleaning and rust protection, you can use water-soluble cutting fluid! This depends on the specific performance requirements of the processed workpiece.

Whether it is cutting oil or water-soluble cutting fluid, it plays a significant role in the metal processing industry! Regardless of which cutting fluid is to be used, it must be selected according to the different performance requirements of the processed parts and cannot be chosen blindly!
