By following these points when preparing the cutting fluid, you can eliminate or control machine tool corrosion!

The state of cutting fluid in equipment usage lacks effective detection and maintenance methods, leading to machine tool failures after a period of use. It was found that the electrical lines and built-in systems of the machine tool experienced severe corrosion caused by cutting fluid, resulting in hidden faults in the equipment's electrical system. The downtime due to these faults has severely affected normal production. Therefore, while using cutting fluid, we should take the following specific control measures for rectification.

1. Increase process requirements; before production processing of the workpiece blank, add a shot peening process to eliminate impurities such as rust and sand particles.

2. Do not use lime water in the marking process to eliminate corrosion caused by lime deposits on the equipment.

3. Through comparative tests of several water-based cutting fluids, select a cutting fluid with higher comprehensive performance and better rust prevention properties.

4. Use purified water instead of tap water to prepare cutting fluid. Although the cost increases, it can improve the comprehensive performance indicators of water-based cutting fluid, extend its service life, and provide better rust prevention for the equipment.

5. Establish a regular inspection system for cutting fluid and keep records. Require operators to regularly test the cutting fluid concentration, pH value, and other indicators. If the cutting fluid deteriorates, it should be replaced in a timely manner, and new fluid should be added according to concentration changes to ensure the quality of the cutting fluid.

6. Require cutting fluid manufacturers to regularly test indicators such as bacterial content and chloride ion content, and assist and guide operators in monitoring cutting fluid indicators.

7. Daily inspection of the cutting fluid filtration device status of the equipment is necessary to ensure its normal operation; the cooling system should be cleaned at least twice a year using a system cleaning agent.

8. Regularly inspect the sealing performance of the equipment, and promptly repair any issues found to prevent cutting fluid from entering the machine tool.

9. Regularly clean areas prone to residual cutting fluid, such as the tool library and workbench, with cutting fluid to avoid corrosion.

Through the summary analysis of the above case of cutting fluid corrosion on machine tools, it is concluded that the factory workshop did not pay attention to the use and management of cutting fluid, resulting in equipment failure and affecting normal production. After the corrosion problem of the machine tool appeared, the factory workshop should have promptly taken effective control measures after jointly diagnosing and analyzing with the manufacturer.
