Formulation of Cutting fluid and solution to problems in use 1. Transparent water-soluble Cutting fluid
The main ingredients of the formula are ethylene glycol, Borax, Sodium metasilicate and sodium phosphate.

Ethylene glycol: Ethylene glycol, also known as "ethylene glycol" or "1,2-ethylene glycol", abbreviated as EG. The chemical formula is (HOCH2) ₂, which is the simplest Diol. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet tasting liquid that is toxic to animals, with a lethal dose in humans of approximately 1.6g/kg. Ethylene glycol can dissolve with water and acetone, but its solubility is relatively low in ethers. It is used as solvent, Antifreeze and raw material of synthetic polyester. Polyethylene glycol (PEG), a high polymer of ethylene glycol, is a Phase-transfer catalyst and also used for Cell fusion; Its Nitrate ester is an explosive.

Borax: Borax, or borax, with Molecular formula Na2B4O7.10H2O, is a very important boron bearing mineral and boron compound. Usually a white powder containing colorless crystals, easily soluble in water. Borax has a wide range of uses, including as a cleaning agent, cosmetics, insecticide, as well as for preparing buffer solutions and preparing other boron compounds. Borax usually refers to the decahydrate of Borax, namely Na2B4O7.10H2O, but the commercially available borax is often partially weathered.

Meta Sodium metasilicate: Meta Sodium metasilicate is a low Molecular solid produced by the hydrothermal reaction of ordinary foamed alkali and caustic soda. The commodities include anhydrous, pentahydrate and nine hydrate, of which nine hydrate only exists in the domestic market. Because its melting point is only 42 ℃, it is easy to become liquid or paste when stored, and is being phased out gradually. However, due to some user habits and some fields do not care much about Water of crystallization, there is still a certain market for meta Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate.

Sodium phosphate: sodium phosphate (chemical formula: Na3PO4) is a phosphate, which is a Inorganic compound. Generally, sodium phosphate refers to sodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na3PO412H2O). When sodium phosphate dodecahydrate is weathered in dry air and heated to 100 ° C, it will lose Water of crystallization and become Anhydrous.

1. Deterioration and odor of Cutting fluid
The main reason for the deterioration and odor of Cutting fluid is that Cutting fluid contains a large number of bacteria, and the bacteria in Cutting fluid mainly include aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. The aerobic bacteria live in the environment with minerals, such as water, concentrated solution of Cutting fluid and oil leaked from the machine tool. Under aerobic conditions, they split into two every 20-30min. Anaerobic bacteria exist in an oxygen free environment, split into two every hour, metabolize and release SO2, which smells like rotten eggs, and Cutting fluid turns black. When the bacteria in Cutting fluid is greater than 106, Cutting fluid will become odorous.

(1) Channels for bacteria entering Cutting fluid:
1) There is bacteria invasion in the preparation process, such as bacteria in the water used to prepare Cutting fluid. 2) Bacteria in the air enter the Cutting fluid. 3) The transfer of workpiece between processes causes the infection of Cutting fluid. 4) Bad habits of operators, such as littering dirty things. 5) Poor cleanliness of machine tools and workshops.

(2) Methods for controlling bacterial growth:
1) Use high-quality and stable Cutting fluid. 2) Using pure water to prepare concentrated solution is not only easy to prepare, but also can improve the lubricity of Cutting fluid, reduce the amount taken away by chips, and prevent bacterial erosion. 3) During use, the ratio of concentrated liquid in Cutting fluid shall not be too low, or bacteria will grow easily. 4) Since the oil used in the machine tool contains bacteria, try to reduce the oil leaked from the machine tool mixed with Cutting fluid. 5) When the pH value of Cutting fluid is between 8.3 and 9.2, it is difficult for bacteria to survive, so new Cutting fluid should be added in time to increase the pH value. 6) Keep the Cutting fluid clean, and do not make the Cutting fluid contact with dirty oil, food, tobacco and other dirt. 7) Frequent use of fungicides. 8) Keep the workshop and machine tools clean. 9) If the equipment does not have a filtering device, the floating oil should be regularly skimmed and dirt removed.

2. Corrosion of Cutting fluid
(1) Reasons for corrosion:
1) The proportion of concentrated liquid in Cutting fluid is low. 2) The pH value of Cutting fluid is too high or too low. For example, when pH>9.2, it has a corrosive effect on aluminum. Therefore, the appropriate pH value should be selected based on the metal material. 3) Contact with dissimilar metal materials. 4) Use paper or wood pad to place the workpiece. 5) Component stacking. 6) The number of bacteria in Cutting fluid exceeds the standard. 7) The humidity in the working environment is too high.

(2) Methods for preventing corrosion:
1) Use pure water to prepare Cutting fluid, and the proportion of Cutting fluid should be used according to the recommended value in the manual of Cutting fluid used. 2) If necessary, use anti rust fluid. 3) Control the number of bacteria and avoid their production. 4) Check the humidity and pay attention to controlling the humidity of the working environment within an appropriate range. 5) Cutting fluid shall not be polluted. 6) Avoid contact with dissimilar materials such as aluminum and steel, cast iron (containing magnesium), and copper.


3. The problem of producing foam
When using Cutting fluid, sometimes a large amount of foam will be generated on the surface of Cutting fluid.

(1) Main reasons for foam:
1) The level of Cutting fluid is too low. 2) The flow rate of Cutting fluid is too fast, and there is no time for bubbles to overflow. The more bubbles accumulate, the more foam is produced. 3) There are too many right angles in the water tank design, or the nozzle angle of Cutting fluid is too straight.

(2) Methods to avoid foam:
1) In a centralized cooling system, the pipelines are cascaded in series, and the pressure of the pipelines close to the cooling box should be lower. 2) Ensure that the level of Cutting fluid is not too low, check the level in time and add Cutting fluid in time. 3) Control the flow rate of Cutting fluid not too fast. 4) When designing a sink, attention should be paid to not having too many right angles to the sink. 5) When using Cutting fluid, the nozzle angle of Cutting fluid should not be too straight.

4. The operator's skin allergy problem
(1) The main causes of skin allergies in operators:
1) The pH value is too high. 2) Composition of Cutting fluid. 3) Insoluble metals and oils used in machine tools. 4) The proportion of concentrated solution used is too high. 5) Protective suspension layer on the surface of Cutting fluid, such as odor sealing layer and Anti Foam layer. Fungicide and unclean Cutting fluid.

(2) In work, the following points should be noted:
1) The operator shall apply protective oil, wear work clothes and gloves, and pay attention to avoid direct contact between skin and Cutting fluid. 2) The proportion of concentrated liquid in Cutting fluid must be used according to the recommended value of Cutting fluid. 3) Use fungicides according to the dosage specified in the instructions.

In addition, fluororubber and grease rubber have less deformation due to the influence of Cutting fluid, so they can be given priority when used as machine tool seals. To prevent deformation, the rubber used for machine tool seals should generally have a grease content greater than 35%. In addition, in order to effectively prevent the Cutting fluid from causing the paint of the machine tool to fall off, epoxy resin paint or polyurethane paint can be selected. In a word, if we can pay attention to the above problems when using Cutting fluid in normal production, we can avoid unnecessary economic losses and effectively improve production efficiency.
