Magnesium specific fluid

29 September 2018

With good mechanical lubricity and a high oil content, TRIM metalworking emulsion concentrates from Master Fluid Solutions are said to provide a greater boundary layer between the tool and the material.

The latest addition to the range, TRIM E806, is primarily designed for machining magnesium alloys typically found in aerospace and automotive manufacturing but it has the lubricity and extreme pressure performance to also be used on wrought aluminium, stainless steel, as well as tough-to-machine titanium and nickel-based alloys.

Master Fluid Solutions says that TRIM E806 will not tarnish the most sensitive of magnesium alloys even after long exposure times and in the presence of magnesium salt build up in the sump, this Master Fluid Solutions’ product remains impervious to it.  

Another problem associated with magnesium machining using standard metalworking fluids is hydrogen gas generation which can compromise safety. The use of TRIM E806 virtually eliminates this risk. It performs well in high speed machining applications but is also suited to lower speed applications such as broaching, reaming, deep hole drilling, drilling and tapping.

Low foaming for demanding high-pressure, high-volume machining is another TRIM E806 characteristic and, in common with other products in the range, it features a bio package that extends its service life without the need for tank-side biocide or fungicides; it is free from boron, chlorine, formaldehyde releasers, phenolic compounds and sulphurised EP additives.
