โขEfficient machining and grinding: Level of detergency helps prevent loading of grinding wheel with grit and fines, and also assists in flushing and settling of chips. Low foaming tendency is beneficial in high-speed operations. โข High precision and surface finish: Excellent cooling and lubricity properties of the emulsion allow for effective heat transfer from the cutting zone, to help reduce friction between the tool and workpiece, to provide dimensional accuracy and good surface finish on parts. โขLow maintenance: Level of detergency assists in flushing and settling of grinding dirt, to help promote longer wheel life. The selected base oil component of the emulsion helps provide effective rust protection of machine and parts, and the high level of reserve alkalinity helps reduce acids that develop in emulsion systems with use. โขLong emulsion life: Carefully balanced combination of base oil, emulsifiers and coupling agents helps produce stable, longlasting emulsions. The high level of reserve alkalinity helps improve the emulsionโs resistance to bacterial degradation. The effective biocide component is designed to combat micro-organisms.
- Aquatexยฎ3180 oil is a general purpose soluble oil formulated with special base oils, coupling agents and a high level of emulsifiers.
- Aquatexยฎ3180 oil has been designed to form very stable emulsions, even with relatively hard water.
- Aquatexยฎ3180 oil exhibits high levels of detergency and reserve alkalinity, low foaming tendencies, and contains a biocide to combat a wide spectrum of micro-organisms commonly found in sumps and reservoirs.
Can include: โข Light machining such as drilling, planing, milling, sawing and turning operations on a variety of carbon and alloy steels ranging from soft to medium hardness, particularly where carbide tip tooling is being used. โข Grinding operations where very clean emulsions are typically required to permit rapid settling of fines. Note: Water-containing metalworking fluids such as soluble oil emulsions should never be used for machining operations on magnesium or magnesium-containing alloys as a fire or explosion hazard may exist. Chevronโs recommended product for machining these metals is Almag Oil.
