3 ways to prevent corrosion
Corrosion is a natural process that has a variety of negative effects on metal. Even the smallest form of corrosion requires repairs and maintenance. The worldwide annual loss due to corrosion is an huge waste and should be minimized. It is estimated that 50 % of metallic corrosion loss can be prevented by using suitable protection methods.
Corrosion explained
Metals are used for the fabrication of many structures, vehicles and objects like cars, buildings, ships, etc. Because corrosion causes metal to deteriorate it is not wanted in our modern-day metal-applications. Yet it is a natural process that is dependent on several factors. In this article we explain what corrosion is and how it arises. We also take a look at the different types of corrosion.
Metalworking fluids – the complete Engineers Guide
Water miscible and neat metalworking fluids are some of the most complex liquid sorts around in terms of chemistry and working environments. To help users on how to manage metalworking fluids, Q8Oils published the ‘engineers guide to using soluble metal manufacturing fluids’.
Q8 Bach XNRG neat cutting oils
The Q8 Bach XNRG bio-lubricants exceed the EN 16807 requirements, combining excellent cutting performances with an eco-friendly character.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 4 (final)
The aluminum wire drawing emulsion as like copper should be filtered effectively, this promotes clean running by removal of abrasive and reactive fines from the system. In aluminum emulsions it is best to use two systems, a centrifuge and also a paper filtration. A third system of a vacuum filtration could also be considered to remove the lightweight particles.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 3
The use of soluble oil emulsions for aluminium drawing is not a new application, however with newer types of additive and the performance that they provide, substantial benefits can be provided to the drawing company by using emulsions over drawing oils. Emulsions can be used for both EC and Alloys across all wire sizes from rod to super fine applications.
How to measure productivity in copper wiredrawing – Part 2
Lubrication consistency with newer generation copper wiredrawing lubricants can be demonstrated and proven with both laboratory analyses and in live factory applications. Under controlled identical conditions, product technologies can be cross-referenced and compared in KPI’s laboratories.
The importance of emulsions for Aluminum drawing – Part 2
The technical service and support for aluminum drawing oils to determine the overall condition and suitability for continued use, are routinely as follows.
How to measure productivity in copper wiredrawing – Part 1
Today’s global working environment poses economic challenges for manufacturers, making increased factory productivity a key for successful growth. That makes it important for companies to be able to measure productivity and understand what aspects are important to increase it.
