The latest generation of Blaser Swisslube's B-Cool range of water-miscible cutting fluids is said to be proving highly successful in the aerospace sector for the machining of tough materials, such as titanium alloys, Inconel and stainless steel alloys.
Available in the UK through Jemtech (UK), B-Cool 9665 is a chlorine-free semi-synthetic cutting fluid that is suitable for light and heavy duty machining as well as grinding of components such as blades and blisks.
B-Cool's improved rinsing behaviour and high corrosion protection for the workpiece, toolholder and machine tool will be of particular interest to the aerospace sector, and when combined, help ensure that consumption of cutting fluid is kept to a minimum, typically reducing consumable costs.
“Users of B-Cool 9665 are experiencing improvements in cutting data of around 20% when machining titanium (TiAl6V4) and similar increases when cutting stainless steel (1.4301), when compared with other market leading products,” said Jemtech's technical director, Alan Dalton. “When these process improvements are added to the extended added sump life and post machining benefits, such as the corrosion protection, and its ability to operate in all water conditions, the savings and advantages found with B-Cool 9665 are significant.”
