Q1. What is Metal Working Fluid?
Answer: Metal Working Fluid (MWF) is an industrial fluid used during metal cutting, drilling, milling, turning, grinding and other machining operations for cooling, lubrication and corrosion protection.
Q2. What is the main purpose of MWF?
Answer: To reduce heat and friction, improve tool life, enhance surface finish and protect the machine and workpiece from corrosion.
Q3. Where is Metal Working Fluid used?
Answer: It is used in CNC, VMC, turning, milling, drilling, grinding, tapping and sawing operations.
Q4. What are the benefits of MWF?
Answer: Better cooling, reduced friction, longer tool life, improved surface finish, reduced wear and corrosion protection.
Q5. Is MWF suitable for all metals?
Answer: Different MWF formulations are available for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The correct grade should be selected according to the metal and machining process.
