Understanding and Controlling Water Dilutable Metal Removal Fluid Failure

Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

Outside of the machining environment, metalworking fluids can last almost indefinitely. However, as soon as these fluids are introduced into the machining environment they begin to fail, and in some cases very rapidly. These fluids fail to such an extent that they can cause premature tool wear, damage to the tool and workpiece, and irritating to workers in the machining area. When these conditions exist, either all or in part, the fluids are discarded. This presentation will address why metalworking fluids fail and methods that the end user can employ to slow down the rate of failure, increase tool life, and have a positive impact on worker safety.
