The University of UATH press release talks about “An intelligent multiple Metalworking fluid dispensing system" for CNC machining enabling real time controled administration. This system allows metalworking fluids to be simultaneously, separately and directionally applied during the machining process resulting in maximized tool life, creating a better surface finish and reducing the amount of cutting fluids used.

Is it just me or does Quaker Chemical need to spiff-up that boring-azz logo. The word and font are cool enough, but the "Q" in the circle looks like the international symbol for a uni-sex toilet.
This is not an announcement of the next STLE Convention in Las Vegas. It is NOT in Las Vegas. It is in Detroit, where the only ride you will test drive is a Ford. This is about tramp oil. The STLE January Issue of the Metalworking Fluid Newsletter includes six articles related to metalworking fluids, including the 6C Metalworking Fluid Management article that first ap
Let’s go back to ancient era, when vegetable oils were used for all the purposes. Recent research has been done on the application of vegetable oil based cutting fluids based on process parameters. The results confirm that vegetable oil based cutting fluids are a viable metalworking fluid alternative. Find more details in latest January article from Indian Journal Of Society and Technology.
To meet the challenges of Aerospace Industry with High Performance Fluids, Quaker Chemical introduces QUAKERCOOL® 7000 ALF BAF. A European approved machining and grinding coolant will now be available to the U.S. aerospace industry. QUAKERCOOL® 7000 ALF BAF is an environmentally friendly water soluble coolant designed for the machining of aluminum alloys and has new technology that is boron-free and amine-free.
MWF monitoring is extremely important to optimize performance and extend fluid life. The most important test is concentration because fluid systems are not static and individual formula components deplete at different rates. Some tests used to monitor MWFs need to be upgraded to shorten the analysis time and improve accuracy and precision. The article from STLE explains it in details.
CIMCOOL Fluid Technology, a leader in metalworking fluids, introduces a new and complete product line designed to meet the challenges of the tube and pipe industry. CIMMILL™ Fluids, was formulated to increase productivity by up to 20% in tube and pipe operations, offer excellent lubricity, rust protection and sump life.

Use of compressed air for cleaning machined components is a common practice. The potential impact of the use of compressed air for the removal of residual metalworking fluids on health was investigated using a test chamber approach followed by a workplace study. The greatest risk was found to be dermal exposure due to large droplets of MWF coating the worker’s torso and arms.
