China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’ Association (CMTBA) has organized the China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT). It is the largest and most influential machine tool show in China, and is recognized as one of the four largest international machine tool shows in the world.
Read a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and one will quickly understand that the regulatory world is full of jargon, acronyms and abbreviations. This “Skill Builder” from Quaker will help with reading and understanding a Safety Data Sheet. Also have a look at SDS abbreviation definition chart. A good refresher.
UNITI has organized the Mineral Oil Technology Congress, which will take place on April 9 - 10, 2013. Mineral oil has remained the primary base for most of the Metalworking Fluid formulations for decades. This international event of the mineral oil branches is known for its high participation, top-class speakers, interesting exhibition, and outstanding support of acknowledged sponsors.
Chemetall has added to its legacy as a metalworking fluid innovator with the introduction of Tech Cool 35052CF. The product builds on their "platform" approach to semi-synthetic coolants, where the same environmentally focused features and benefits (highly stable emulsion, exceptional lubricity, biostability without registered bactericides) are achieved without the use of EP additives. The product is considered a perfect counterpart to their very successful Tech Cool 35052 chemistry, and is bec
The Lions and Tigers and Bears of modern manufacturing are Bacteria, Fungus and Mold. There are more than 2,000 known species of bacteria on earth. They are of great interest to us in the management of metalworking fluids. Bacterial actions alter fluid by destroying lubricants and corrosion inhibitors, by generating corrosive organic acids and salts.
"Sustainability" is the popular buzz word at manufacturing gatherings, and vegetable oils are the darling of that dance. Rapeseeds, Soybean, Sunflower and everything "under the sun" are being explored as an alternate to mineral oils. Vegetable oils will outperform mineral oil in standard lubricity tests, have lower mist generation, higher flash points and lower dermal sensitivity. But there are some trade-offs, such as poor hydrolytic stability, and sticky machines. An article from straight t
Even if you have best recipe, its useless if not mixed properly. Right or wrong, you'll be eating it. Similarly, for your metalworking fluid application, the prescribed mixing procedure must by used along with
How much did you spend last night? $200? $400? And - what do you get for it? Think that will last all year? For $490 you could have purchased a Premium Directory Listing at Metalworking Fluid Magazine that keeps on giving all year long. We won't need another card, letter flower, of piece of chocolate until 2014. Why be buried in the White Pages when you can have the equivalent of a Full Page Ad in the Yellows.
STLE has an extensive Webinar Schedule for 2013 that includes at least four that are directly beneficial the End User of Metalworking Fluids. Each Webinar is 60 minutes long. The price is a very reasonable $39 for members and $59 for nonmembers. Don't forget that you can use the course towards y
