Chemetall introduces Tech Cool 35052CF, a Generation V high performance semi-synthetic metalworking coolant. Tech Cool 35052CF combines ultra-high lubricity characteristics required for aerospace and medical device alloys with green chemistry technologies. The result is reportedly exceptional emulsion stability, outstanding sump life without odors, extended tool life, low foam levels, excellent corrosion resistance and significantly lower operational costs. This is achieved without the use of chlorinated or sulfur based EP additives, and without bactericides, DCHA or secondary amines. Tech Cool 35052CF is completely free of formaldehyde releasing compounds.
"Tech Cool 35052CF complements our family of high performance semi-synthetic coolants," said Julia Murray, Vice-President of Technical Marketing. "When you make a real commitment to innovation, and listen to what your customers require, the results can be profound. We now have a chlorine free offering, suitable for the most challenging substrates, to complement our original Tech Cool 35052 chemistry."
Ideal for Titanium, high nickel alloys and stainless steels, and fully compatible with aluminum and brass in addition to all ferrous substrates, Tech Cool 35052CF is the ideal solution for the most challenging metal removal operations. From grinding to broaching, milling to drilling, Tech Cool 35052CF is the ideal product for central systems and stand alone machines.
The stability of the micro-emulsion technology is the essence of the Tech Cool product line. The ability to reject tramp oils, allow for effective coolant recycling programs, generate drier chips that are easier to separate, and dramatically reduce residues on both the parts and the tooling are just some of the exceptional benefits of the Tech Cool 35052CF. Tech Cool 35052CF is very low foaming, without the use of silicone defoamers, and is suitable for high pressure, high speed systems, even in low hardness water. Stable in 1,200 ppm water hardness, Tech Cool 35052CF is the versatile product of choice when performance and economics is required.
Related Glossary Terms
- alloys
alloys
Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.
- broaching
broaching
Operation in which a cutter progressively enlarges a slot or hole or shapes a workpiece exterior. Low teeth start the cut, intermediate teeth remove the majority of the material and high teeth finish the task. Broaching can be a one-step operation, as opposed to milling and slotting, which require repeated passes. Typically, however, broaching also involves multiple passes.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- corrosion resistance
corrosion resistance
Ability of an alloy or material to withstand rust and corrosion. These are properties fostered by nickel and chromium in alloys such as stainless steel.
- emulsion
emulsion
Suspension of one liquid in another, such as oil in water.
- extreme pressure additives ( EP)
extreme pressure additives ( EP)
Cutting-fluid additives (chlorine, sulfur or phosphorus compounds) that chemically react with the workpiece material to minimize chipwelding. Good for high-speed machining. See cutting fluid.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- 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.
- hardness
hardness
Hardness is a measure of the resistance of a material to surface indentation or abrasion. There is no absolute scale for hardness. In order to express hardness quantitatively, each type of test has its own scale, which defines hardness. Indentation hardness obtained through static methods is measured by Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Knoop tests. Hardness without indentation is measured by a dynamic method, known as the Scleroscope test.
- lubricity
lubricity
Measure of the relative efficiency with which a cutting fluid or lubricant reduces friction between surfaces.
- 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.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- stainless steels
stainless steels
Stainless steels possess high strength, heat resistance, excellent workability and erosion resistance. Four general classes have been developed to cover a range of mechanical and physical properties for particular applications. The four classes are: the austenitic types of the chromium-nickel-manganese 200 series and the chromium-nickel 300 series; the martensitic types of the chromium, hardenable 400 series; the chromium, nonhardenable 400-series ferritic types; and the precipitation-hardening type of chromium-nickel alloys with additional elements that are hardenable by solution treating and aging.
