Cimtech 46C

August 01, 2011

CIMTECH 46C Metalworking Fluid, one of CIMCOOL Fluid Technology's extensive line of metalworking fluids, has BOEING approval under BAC 5008REVr — Areas 5 and 6, including titanium alloys. The approval number is BOEING PSD 6-124. CIMTECH 46C is recommended for moderate duty grinding of hard metals such as cobalt, stellite and titanium alloys, including chrome plated and HVOF Thermal Spray Coating components.

While meeting the strict performance and chemical requirements of aerospace manufacturing, CIMTECH 46C is very clean with exceptional foam control. It is easily maintained and provides exceptional odor control and long sump life. Depletion resistant, it reduces costs by minimizing the amount of concentrate required for makeup. Most importantly, CIMTECH 46C contains a proprietary blend of inhibitors that protect ferrous machine tool components while minimizing dissolved cobalt in solution.

In addition, CIMTECH 46C has attributes appreciated by experienced machine operators everywhere. It is low misting and does not smoke or leave a slippery, oily film on parts, machines or surrounding areas. It is a clear mix and rejects tramp oils, which allows for easy removal by oil-skimmers.

Other CIMCOOL METALWORKING FLUIDS approved by BOEING Commercial Aircraft Group (BAC 5008 REVr, Area's 5 and 6) include CIMTECH 310 Metalworking Fluid (PSD 6-103); CIMTECH 320Z Metalworking Fluid (PSD 6-122); and CIMSTAR QUALSTAR LF Metalworking Fluid (PSD 6-119).

    alloys

    Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.

  • grinding

    grinding

    Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.

  • metalworking

    metalworking

    Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.
