TYPES OF FLUIDS STRAIGHT OILS • 100% MINERAL OIL PLUS ADDITIVES • MODERATE TO HEAVY DUTY APPLICATIONS • FOR FERROUS AND NON-FERROUS MATERIALS • EXCELLENT CORROSION PROTECTION • GREAT FLEXABILITY AND FORGIVENESS • NON - PERISHABLE CIMCOOL.COM
Synthetic Fluid Case Study • Customer - Aerospace Engine Manufacturer • Part - Engine Turbine Blade • Fluid Concentration - 5% • Material - Inconel and other aerospace alloys • Operation - Creep Feed Grinding with aluminum oxide grinding wheels. Stock removal: High stock removal!!! • System type - 7,000 gal central system • Results - Replaced competitive soluble oil. Provided much longer sump life with less residue and much lower foaming. CIMCOOL.COM
Semi-Synthetic Case Study • Customer - Aerospace Manufacturer • Part - Holders for site mirrors on guided missiles • Material - Aluminum and 316L Stainless Steel • Operation - Milling, turning, facing, deburring, tapping (.267 thread taps) milling ID on stainless • System type - Individual Machines • Results - Replaced a soluble oil. Less carry off and better part finish. CIMCOOL.COM
Soluble Oil Case Study • Customer - Manufacturer of pumps • Part - Pump rotor • Material - Nodular cast iron • Operation - Machining using carbide inserts • System - Individual machine • Results - Replaced a competitive Semi-synthetic. Increased tool life by 14 fold. Customer used to change inserts once per shift. Currently, the customer changes inserts once per week. CIMCOOL.COM

LUBRICITY • PROBLEM FACTORS • Fluid Concentration • Machine / Tooling Setup • Machine Age/ Stability • Operator • Filtration & Cleanliness • Material Specs • Temperature CIMCOOL.COM
RESIDUE • PROBLEM FACTORS • Concentration • Water quality • Application • Contamination/Filtration • Operation • Fluid Age CIMCOOL.COM
DERMATITIS • PROBLEM FACTORS • Concentration Control • Fluid Selection / Application • Harsh Soaps • Solvents & Cleaners - at work / outside work • Contamination - dirt, oils, cleaners, etc.. • Personal Hygiene - rags, gloves, clothing • Fluid Mix Age - Dirty Residues CIMCOOL.COM
Metalworking Fluid Controls • Assign the responsibility for control • Clean the system thoroughly • Maintain the concentration • Keep the fluid free of chips and grit • Monitor water quality • Aerate the mix, if needed • Provide good flushing in machines and trenches • Employ good housekeeping • Minimize tramp oils • Use additives only as needed CIMCOOL.COM
Concentration Check Methods 1. ???? (Looks good ! Smells good!) 2. REFRACTOMETERS 3. CIMCHEK™ Test Strips 4. ON-SITE TITRATION EQUIPMENT 5. INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS 6. FLUID PREMIX - PROPORTIONERS CIMCOOL.COM
CLEANING PROCEDURE !!! • DRAIN THE OLD FLUID. • PHYSICALLY REMOVE DIRT, DEBRIS AND SLUDGE. • REFILL MACHINE SUMP WITH WATER AND ALKALINE CLEANER. • CIRCULATE CLEANER & USE TO SPRAY DOWN FIXTURES. • DRAIN CLEANER AND RINSE WITH WATER. • REFILL WITH WATER AND SUFFICIENT FLUID CONCENTRATE TO • THE REC’D CONCENTRATION. • CIRCULATE UNTIL FLUID AND MACHINE ARE AT AMBIENT • TEMPERATURE. • RE-CONFIRM CONCENTRATION. • NOTE: ALWAYS ADD FLUID CONC. INTO WATER! CIMCOOL.COM
