General Purpose Cutting Oils are essential lubricants in metalworking operations, designed to enhance tool life, improve surface finish, and optimize machining efficiency. Below are 4-6 key characteristics with technical data:

1. High Lubricity (Coefficient of Friction ≤0.15): These oils reduce friction between cutting tools and workpieces, minimizing heat generation. A coefficient of friction below 0.15 ensures smooth chip evacuation and extends tool life by up to 40% compared to dry machining.

2. Thermal Stability (Flash Point ≥180°C): With flash points exceeding 180°C, general-purpose cutting oils resist vaporization at high temperatures, maintaining consistent viscosity (ISO VG 22-68) even under heavy loads or prolonged use.

3. Corrosion Inhibition (Salt Spray Test ≥96 hours): Formulated with rust inhibitors, these oils protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals from oxidation, achieving 96+ hours in ASTM B117 salt spray tests without visible corrosion.

4. Multi-Metal Compatibility (pH 8.5-9.5): The balanced alkaline pH range (8.5-9.5) ensures safe use on steel, aluminum, brass, and other alloys without staining or chemical reactions.

5. Chip Flushing (Wetting Angle <30°): Low surface tension (<30° wetting angle) promotes rapid chip removal, reducing recutting and improving dimensional accuracy by ±0.02mm in precision operations.

6. Foam Control (ASTM D892 Foam Volume <50ml): Anti-foaming additives limit foam generation to under 50ml in standardized tests, ensuring uninterrupted fluid flow in high-pressure CNC systems.

【Range of Application】

● Suitable for copper, aluminum, iron and other metals turning, milling, drilling, tapping, punching and other processing technology.

【Packaging Specifications】

18L/ plastic bucket, 200L/ large iron bucket.

Key Functions

Lubrication: By reducing friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece, these oils minimize heat generation and wear, thereby extending tool and workpiece life.

Cooling: The oil absorbs and dissipates the heat generated during the cutting process, preventing thermal deformation of the workpiece and ensuring dimensional accuracy.

Chip Removal: The lubricating properties of the oil help to evacuate chips smoothly from the cutting zone, reducing the risk of tool clogging and improving surface finish.

Corrosion Protection: The additives in the oil provide corrosion protection to the workpiece and machinery, ensuring longer tool life and reduced downtime.

Cleanliness: These oils help keep the working environment clean, minimize the accumulation of oil mist and reduce the risk of contamination.

Features

Versatility: These oils are formulated to be compatible with a wide range of metals, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum and iron. This versatility makes them a cost-effective solution for shops that process a mix of different materials.

Lubricity: These oils have excellent lubricating properties, making them ideal for reducing friction and wear in high-speed, high-pressure machining operations. This helps achieve better surface finishes and longer tool life.

Cooling ability: They effectively dissipate heat generated during cutting, reducing the risk of thermal deformation and ensuring dimensional accuracy.

Transparency: Many universal cutting oils are transparent, making it easier for operators to observe the machining process and monitor the condition of the workpiece and tool.

Low odor and low mist: These oils are formulated to produce minimal odor and oil mist, making them more comfortable for operators to use and reducing the risk of respiratory problems.

Benefits

Improved surface finish: The lubricating properties of the oils result in a smoother, more refined surface on machined components.

Extended tool life: By reducing friction and wear, these oils help extend the life of cutting tools, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Increased productivity: Efficient cooling and lubrication increase machining speeds and feed rates, thereby increasing overall productivity.

Cost savings: Versatile oils can be used across a wide range of materials and machining operations, reducing the need for specialized lubricants and inventory costs.

Environmental benefits: Many universal cutting oils are biodegradable and contain fewer harmful chemicals, making them more environmentally friendly than traditional cutting fluids.

Applications

Turning: Whether you are machining a small diameter shaft or a large diameter component, these oils provide the necessary lubrication and cooling to ensure precision and quality.

Milling: During milling operations, the oil helps reduce friction between the milling cutter and the workpiece, resulting in smoother cuts and longer tool life.

Drilling: The lubricating properties of the oil help reduce the torque required to drill through the material, making the process faster and more efficient.

Tapping: These oils minimize friction and wear during tapping operations, ensuring accurate thread formation and longer tool life.

Punching: The oil helps reduce the force required to punch through the material, minimizing wear on the punch and die, and improving part quality.

Other Processes: General purpose cutting oils can also be used in other processes such as grinding, sawing and tapping, providing similar benefits in terms of lubrication, cooling and surface finish.
