Besides picking the right one, the biggest headache today for all metalworking fluid users is disposal. This guide from UKLA is concerned only with metalworking fluids. Treatment and disposal options depend on the type and volume of waste, so treatment solutions are difficult to determine. The aim of this guide is to help engineering companies to select the most suitable technologies available in terms of cost and performance.
It's so safe you can eat it? Not quite. Quaker Chemical Corporation, a leading global provider of process fluids, has received H1 certification for QUAKEROL® PCL-FG – a high performance, food grade synthetic lubricant formulated for use on pin chains in the can manufacturing process.
F&L Asia Ltd. (Fuels and Lubes) the organizer of F&L Week, headquartered in Hong Kong, organizes unique courses for the first time in Asia by the world’s leading microbiology expert on metalworking fluid, Frederick J. Passman, Ph.D. He is an STLE Fellow and Certified Metalworking Fluids Specialist with 35 years experience in environmental-industrial microbiology. In spite of his haughty qualifications, our experience is that Dr.
oelheld U.S. has announced that the formerly imported grinding fluid Sintogrind TTS-US is now manufactured at their U.S. facility in Elgin, IL. SintoGrind TTS-US is formulated from synthetically produced poly-alpha-olefin based fluid, which provides unlimited life span if properly filtered. Lubricity lends to extended wheel life and minimal heat build-up in work pieces. This results in higher production rates and elimination of surface cracks.
The "shake test" is being retired by ASTM. D-3519 and D-3601 are balloted for removal from the ASTM Standards with no alternate methods. Is foam testing no longer important, or is it that every defoamer supplier and metalworking house has their own version of these tests?
Thousands of machine shops across the globe perform a variety of machining operations for different industries using a wide range of materials. As a result, they face diverse operational and metallurgical challenges. Additionally, their customers often demand short production runs and fast turnarounds, and they must be able to customize and deliver high-quality end products.
Are you new to metalworking fluids? Working with metalworking fluids has inherent dangers that are better understood today then they were 20 years ago. They can cause irritation, nose bleeds, coughing and various other symptoms if you are stupid enough to drink them. It is important to take basic precautions to ensure you are always working safely and effectively. This article from Tom Mcloughlin is geared down for the newcomer, and talks about best practice sharing
Metalworking fluid maker Blaser Swisslube has earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label for 11 products. The products also have preferred Federal Procurement status – the federal government is now required to track and increase its purchases of products made from plants and other renewable agricultural materials. The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label verifies that the product’s amount of renewable biobased ingredients meets or exceeds prescribed USDA standards.
