Cutting fluids fluid selection

The increasing diversity of operations, new materials and processes and the constant demand for improved production efficiency can only be met by various additives and compounding agents being blended into the oil to enhance its performance. Additives tend to be expensive and the selection of enhanced cutting fluid is only justified by overall production economies. 

The impacts of TSCA, such as those on two specific exemplary industries, surface coating polymers and metal-cutting fluids, by S.Oslosky and H.Fribush, respectively, are implied but actually not explicit within TSCA. Consider the required assessment of risks, the need for test-data describing effects on health and the environment, aside from plant inspections, subpoenas, prohibited acts, penalties for prohibited acts, enforcement and seizure, judicial review, citizens civil actions and petitions, and employee protection provisions in the Act. Thus, it s inevitable that the alert manufacturer will adjust his product research, development and selection processes to identify and use substances with reduced risk to health and the environment wherever possible. As structure-(biological)-activity relationships become more reliable, the alert... 

Triethanolamine can be determined in metalworking and cutting fluids by gas chromatography-mass selective detection of silylated derivatives, by isotachophoresis, by capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect ultraviolet detection, and by spectrophotometry (Kenyon et al, 1993 Fernando, 1995 Schubert et al, 1996 Sollenberg, 1997) and in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals by ion-exclusion chromatography and by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (Fukui et al, 1992 Maurer etal, 1996).

Several factors directly or indirectly influence the surface finish of machined parts, such as cutting conditions, tool geometry, work material, machine accuracy, chatter or vibration of the machine tool, cutting fluid, and chip formation. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of major input parameters on the surface finish of parts produced by dry turning and to optimize the input parameters. From a user s point of view, cutting parameters—cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut—are the three major controllable variables as such they were selected as input parameters. 

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... 

In both cases the appropriate type of saw must be selected depending on the type of material to be cut plastic, metal, glass, or ceramic. For the latter, it is recommended to use a cutting fluid to prevent overheating of the saw and to lengthen the saw life. 

An on-line supercritical fluid chromatography-capillary gas chromatography (SFC-GC) technique has been demonstrated for the direct transfer of SFC fractions from a packed column SFC system to a GC system. This technique has been applied in the analysis of industrial samples such as aviation fuel (24). This type of coupled technique is sometimes more advantageous than the traditional LC-GC coupled technique since SFC is compatible with GC, because most supercritical fluids decompress into gases at GC conditions and are not detected by flame-ionization detection. The use of solvent evaporation techniques are not necessary. SFC, in the same way as LC, can be used to preseparate a sample into classes of compounds where the individual components can then be analyzed and quantified by GC. The supercritical fluid sample effluent is decompressed through a restrictor directly into a capillary GC injection port. In addition, this technique allows selective or multi-step heart-cutting of various sample peaks as they elute from the supercritical fluid... 

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]. 

V-Nitrosodiethanolamine has been found in many complex matrices such as cutting and grinding fluids and cosmetics. Analysis for V-nitrosodiethanolamine is complicated by the matrix and a clean-up technique with derivatization is typically required before quantitation of the analyte to achieve adequate sensitivity and selectivity. Ammonium sulfamate may be added to the sample to prevent the artifactual formation ofV-nitrosamines. Derivatives of V-nitrosodiethanolamine have been prepared by acylation, trifluoroacylation, trimethylsilylation and methylation. The derivatives have been analysed by gas chromatography using flame ionization and mass spectro-metric detectors (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 1990).
