Water-soluble cutting fluids contain no oil but polyalkylene glycols, nonionic surfactants, fatty acids and corrosion inhibitors. 

However, its cooling properties can be utilized when other materials are added to improve machining performance. One of the most common water-based cutting fluids is the so-called soluble oil, which, in fact, is not a true solution but an oiTin-water emulsion in which very fine droplets of oil are suspended in water. Such a fluid has very effective cooling power and the petroleum oil and its additives provide its lubricating and protective properties. 

Tool overhang should be kept to a minimum. Tools must be kept sharp to avoid buildup that can cause failure of the tool or the workpiece. A tool geometry similar to that used for cast iron is generally suitable. Liberal rake and clearance angles can be used. Cutting fluids are required to control the tool-tip temperature. Water-soluble cutting oils work well. 

Is a liquid water-soluble emulsifier and lubricant. It is recommended for the formulation of soluble oils, cutting fluids, and fiber finishes. 

Properties Colorless to light-yellow liquid. D 0.99 (25C), refr index 1.5560-1.5590 (25C), distilling range 152-158C (11 mm Hg). Partially soluble in water soluble in organic solvents. Combustible. Use Intermediate, oil-soluble rust inhibitor, cutting oils, hydraulic fluids, lubricants. 

Use A water-soluble antimicrobial agent for use in cutting fluids and other aqueous alkaline systems formaldehyde donor with controlled rate of release and minimum odor. 

Formetal Superfluid. [Guardian Labs] Synthetic, water-soluble metal cutting fluids. 

For turning CoCr alloys, tungsten carbide tools are usually applied. Ceramic coated carbide, boron nitride and high speed steels can also be used. Water soluble oils are applied as cutting fluids. Table lb.5 gives the turning parameters for CoCr-alloys. 

Cutting fluids may be classified as insoluble (neat or straight) oils and soluble oils (Table 2). The soluble oils are soluble in water and divided into synthetic, semisynthetic and so-called soluble or emulsifiable oils. 

These products are either water soluble or dispersable and are normally used as emulsifier and corrosion inhibitors in cutting fluids, drawing compounds, and cleaners. NINOL 1301 does not contain excess fatty acids or amine soaps.
