Product Features
High stock removal rates are employed in finish to size operations, the cutting fluid has to withstand high rates of flow and be capable of providing outstanding hydrodynamic lubrication.
Designed with more recent trends in mind, particularly where machining performance is critical on the more difficult high silicone alloys. Excelfluid AL is unique in its provision of lubrication in extreme pressure situations without the use of traditional surface active components
This product which is particularly suitable for the aerospace industry where inter-granular corrosion is of concern, whilst providing a fluid which gives maximum protection from staining on high magnesium and copper alloyed materials. The use of intrinsically low foaming components ensures that foaming is kept under control even in waters of less than 20 ppm total hardness.
Application:
Excelfluid AL should not be used at concentrations less than its specified break point. Maximum machining performance can be achieved at concentrations up to 12% however, most operations will be completed with concentrations in the range 4 - 10%.
