Machining Magnesium With Water Base Coolants 910415
Magnesium Products Limited has been very successful in converting from machining magnesium die castings dry to machining with oil-in-water emulsions, more commonly called water soluble oils.
When machining with water soluble coolants one can expect; 1) excellent fire protection; 2) improved tool life; 3) ease of housekeeping, and 4) improved productivity.
Problems previously encountered with water soluble coolants such as splitting out of solution, hydrogen gas generation, and salt deposits on tools and machines have been singled out and addressed, with solutions tested in production environments.
