Metalworking Fluid Tackles the Challenges of Titanium Machining
Titanium and high-nickel alloys burn through inserts and cutting tools like no other materials, especially when roughing. As a result, tools are often changed earlier than necessary simply as a precaution. At IMTS 2024, Blaser Swisslube (Goshen, NY) features new metalworking fluids designed to address these challenging applications while lowering overall production costs. Blaser Swisslube will be in Booth W-431228.
The Skytec family of products was developed by a team of experts including chemists, engineers, and application technicians, and tested by well-known machine tool builders and aerospace OEMs. Vasco Skytec H 600 draws on the plant-ester-based Vasco range, and B-Cool Skytec 500 on the mineral-oil-based B-Cool range. Both are designed to significantly extend tool life without risking expensive aerospace parts.
These Skytec products are the ideal metalworking fluids for titanium machining because they minimize tool wear and reduce the number of tool changes without compromising process reliability. They are also suitable when machining aluminum, steel and nickel-based alloys. The fluids perform without foam even in high-pressure systems greater than 1,000 psi.
In real-world tests of Vasco Skytec H 600, tool life immediately increased by more than 40% when roughing titanium. When this initial optimization is followed by an adjustment of the machining parameters in cooperation with Blaser’s application engineers, it is possible to also reduce the machining costs per component. Optimizing both the tool life and machining time per component brings the best possible leverage effect of the metalworking fluid into play.
B-Cool Skytec 500 has additionally been optimized for long term, stable use in coolant reclamation and aluminum chip briquetting systems. The remaining coolant from the chips can be filtered and re-used without the need for tank side additives thus providing additional value and sustainability benefits.
Qualifying tests by independent external laboratories are common before aviation approvals can be obtained. Many of these necessary qualification tests and subsequent approvals have already been successfully achieved by Blaser Swisslube.
