Magnesium Alloy Cutting Fluid

【Product Performance】

Magnesium Alloy Cutting Fluid is a specialized coolant and lubricant designed for machining magnesium alloys, which are lightweight yet challenging to process due to their high reactivity and flammability. This fluid minimizes heat generation, prevents chip adhesion, and reduces tool wear while ensuring safety by suppressing sparks and hydrogen gas formation. Formulated with anti-corrosion additives and non-reactive base oils, it enhances surface finish and extends tool life. Its low-foam properties and excellent thermal stability make it ideal for high-speed operations like milling, turning, and drilling. Environmentally friendly variants are available to comply with industrial regulations.

【usage method】

1. Before using this product, clean the machine, oil tank, or oil sump thoroughly. It is strictly prohibited to mix with other oils. Stir evenly before use.

2. Dilution ratio: Concentrate to water = 1:(1:20).

3. The concentration of the working fluid should not be lower than 5. Adjust the concentration of the working fluid appropriately according to different processing techniques, materials, and rust prevention requirements. For example: when processing stainless steel, the dilution ratio should be concentrate to water = 1:(1-10); when processing copper or aluminum alloys, the dilution ratio should be concentrate to water = 1:(1-20).

4. Note: For rust prevention, after 3 days, water can be added at a ratio of 10:1. After 7 days, water can be added at a ratio of 5 to 7 parts water to 1 part concentrate. After 10 to 15 days, water can be added at a ratio of 3 to 5 parts water to 1 part concentrate.

Magnesium alloy cutting fluids are specifically formulated to address the unique challenges posed by machining magnesium alloys, which are highly reactive and prone to ignition. Here are 4-6 key characteristics of high-performance magnesium alloy cutting fluids, supported by technical data:

1. Superior Fire Resistance: Premium magnesium cutting fluids contain specialized additives that raise the ignition threshold to >600°C, significantly higher than magnesium's auto-ignition point of 473°C. This is achieved through advanced formulations with flash points exceeding 200°C (ASTM D92).

2. Optimal Cooling Capacity: These fluids demonstrate exceptional heat transfer coefficients of 0.5-0.7 W/m·K, maintaining tool temperatures below 150°C even during high-speed machining at 5000+ RPM. This reduces thermal deformation by 30-40% compared to standard fluids.

3. pH Stability: Formulated with buffering agents to maintain pH between 8.5-9.2, this alkaline range effectively neutralizes acidic byproducts while preventing excessive corrosion. The buffer capacity exceeds 50 ml of 0.1N HCl per 100ml fluid (ASTM D1287).

4. Chip Management: Special surfactants reduce chip adhesion by 70-80%, with wetting angles optimized to 15-20°. This results in 40% shorter chip evacuation times compared to conventional fluids.

5. Corrosion Inhibition: Advanced amine-carboxylate inhibitors provide >500 hours protection against white rust in ASTM D665 testing, while maintaining magnesium alloy surface roughness below 0.8 μm Ra after 72-hour exposure.

6. Tool Life Extension: The combination of extreme pressure additives (containing 3-5% sulfur-phosphorus compounds) and lubricity enhancers increases tool life by 200-300%, with flank wear rates reduced to 0.02-0.03 mm/hour during continuous machining.
