Product Features
Excelfluid EP is a water-mix metalworking fluid specifically designed for machining difficult alloys, such as high chromium steels and nimonic alloys. Traditionally, these materials required neat oils for demanding operations like drilling and tapping. Excelfluid EP, with its unique blend of surface-active and hydrodynamic lubrication additives, offers a superior alternative to neat oils while providing a clean working environment and extended sump life expected of modern biostable fluids.
Features and Benefits:
- Superior Machine Tool Lubrication: Delivers excellent lubrication for machine tools, enhancing performance.
- Replaces Neat Oils: Can substitute neat oils in certain operations, offering greater versatility.
- Improved Tool Life and Surface Finish: Extends the life of tools and improves the quality of surface finishes.
- Permits Higher Cutting Speeds: Allows for increased cutting speeds, boosting productivity.
- Extremely Biostable: Maintains stability and performance over time, reducing the need for frequent changes.
For optimal performance, Excelfluid EP should not be used below its specified break point concentration. Maximum machining performance is achieved at concentrations up to 12%, though most operations can be effectively completed with concentrations ranging from 3% to 6%.
