Why is Water Soluble Coolant Metal Cutting Popular?

Water soluble coolant metal cutting is an effective method of cutting metals fast. It is a low cost, quick, and provides plenty of headroom for variable hardness. Apart from that, water soluble coolant metal cutting can also be further optimized to offer the ideal cut for non-ferrous metals (such as alloys, copper, and aluminum) apart from ferrous metals (such as steel, cast iron, etc.).

Abrasive cut-off wheels and precision cut-off wheels are used to handle various ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and titanium.

Essentially, cutting fluid is a type of coolant (or lubricant) that’s used for several metalworking processes, machining and stamping being primary among them.

Water based coolant for machining is a fairly straightforward process.

Metal cutting will generate a great deal of heat as a result of friction as well as the energy lost in deforming the material. Surrounding air with a lower thermal conductivity or ambient air is inadequate in many cases, especially industrial applications. That’s where water soluble coolant comes in.

Industrial product work typically involves heavy cutting over prolonged periods of time. It also produces much more heat than what ambient air cooling can remove economically. So, instead of pausing the production work for heat removal, we use water soluble coolant for metal cutting.

The tool needs to cool down in order to function optimally. And pausing production will not be profitable. That’s why coolant metal cutting is very important.

Sometimes, we also add pressure additives to the cutting fluids. This reduces tool wear.

However, another big problem that remains to be taken care of while using water soluble coolant metal cutting is the surface heat. You can cool the tool, but the surface heats up. This can create further problems including failure or burns.

This is taken care of by lubrication. Lubrication also provides additional cooling and removes the friction between the tool’s edge and the material surface.
