Quantalube 270XL Lubricant

July 12, 2012

QUANTALUBE 270XL is a new water soluble "super-lubricant" metalworking fluid designed for heavy-duty grinding and machining operations. Manufactured by CIMCOOL Fluid Technology, QUANTALUBE 270XL's patented Extreme Pressure lubricant package offers outstanding stock removal and, consequently, high productivity increases.

This product can be used with individual machines or central systems, and is recommended for use with carbon steels, high speed steel, cast steels, alloy steels, tool steel, and stainless steel. A series of extreme pressure lubricants are activated at various temperatures to permit high stock removals that are not possible with conventional water-based fluids. After making the switch to QUANTALUBE 270XL, many manufacturers have experienced dramatic productivity increases and extended tool life in traditional "heavy-duty" operations. Like all CIMCOOL products, QUANTALUBE 270XL is available for free product trial.

    alloy steels

    Steel containing specified quantities of alloying elements (other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, sulfur and phosphorus) added to cause changes in the metal’s mechanical and/or physical properties. Principal alloying elements are nickel, chromium, molybdenum and silicon. Some grades of alloy steels contain one or more of these elements: vanadium, boron, lead and copper.

  • carbon steels

    carbon steels

    Known as unalloyed steels and plain carbon steels. Contains, in addition to iron and carbon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur. Characterized as low carbon, medium carbon, high carbon and free machining.

  • 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.
