Application of cutting fluids

Having selected the correct type of cutting fluid, it is equally important to apply it correctly. This is best done by providing a generous flow at low pressure to flood the work area. Flooding has the added advantage of washing away the 

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations require exposure to metalworking fluids (or cutting fluids), by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact to be prevented where reasonably practicable, or, failing that, adequately controlled. 

The exposure can also cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat. 

Metalworking fluids are mostly applied by continuous jet and can enter your body  

The following precautions, if observed, will reduce or eliminate the likely hazards

Due to their exceptional industrial relevance, some practical approaches to improve the machinability of austenitic stainless steels are presented in the following. They can be subdivided into attempts to modify the cutting tool geometries and coating systems, attempts to determine optimal cutting parameters, and attempts for the most suitable application of cutting fluids.

Another application of SFC-GC was for the isolation of chrysene, a poly aromatic hydrocarbon, from a complex liquid hydrocarbon industrial sample (24). A 5 p.m octadecyl column (200 cm X 4.6 mm i.d.) was used for the preseparation, followed by GC analysis on an SE-54 column (25 m X 0.2 mm i.d., 0.33 p.m film thickness). The direct analysis of whole samples transferred from the supercritical fluid chromatograph and selective and multi-heart-cutting of a particular region as it elutes from the SFC system was demonstrated. The heart-cutting technique allows the possibility of separating a trace component from a complex mixture (Figure 12.21). 

The micron ratings of a cartridge are intended to indicate the smallest particle that will be retained by the pores of the filter element. Often a rough-cut pre-filter is installed ahead of a final or polishing filter in order to increase the life of the final unit. Unfortunately, the method for determining the micron rating is not a universal standard between manufacturers. Thus, one manufacturer s 50 micron filter may not perform the same as another manufacturer s with the same rating number. The only reliable approach is to send the manufacturer an actual sample of the fluid and let him test it to select the filter to do your job, or actually test the unit in your plant s field application [37]. 

This chapter examines the need for lubrication and the types of lubricant available. Various applications are considered, including engines gears, hydraulic equipment, machine tools, metal cutting and working fluids, compressors, turbines and electrical oils. The care of lubricants on-site, application of planned lubrication and inclusion within overall maintenance management are examined. 

Ether carboxylates are a very versatile class of surfactants, used in diverse applications from mild personal care formulations to lubricants and cutting fluids. They are interrupted soaps, with the addition of a number of ethylene oxide groups between the alkyl chain and the carboxylate group. The additional solubility imparted by the EO groups gives much greater resistance to hardness and reduced irritancy compared to soap.
