Description
MWF is a concentrated solution containing a unique, oil-soluble molybdenum component along with additives that prevent "welding" of materials under extremely high pressures.
The purpose of lubricants designed for machining and forming tools is to reduce friction and thus the generation of heat, which otherwise results in deformation of workpieces and manufacturing inaccuracies, as well as loss of performance, leading to decreased production (higher speeds and continuous manufacturing techniques cannot be used). To fully understand the function of MWF , it is important to realize that MWF creates a protective coating of molysulfide MoS, which has highly lubricating properties and resistance to extreme pressures. This coating withstands even large compressive forces generated by the cutting tool. Where we process metals that are relatively brittle and easy to machine, there are usually no significant problems. On the other hand, where we process tough steels and ductile materials, a significant increase in cutting pressures can be observed. This can result in material buildup on the tool edge, leading to jamming and overheating. This, of course, leads to accelerated dulling of the cutting tool and a buildup of problems. With highly tough materials, stainless steels, etc., accompanying phenomena such as local hardening due to high temperatures and the formation of a surface lubricating layer can quickly lead to overheating and manufacturing inaccuracies if timely measures are not taken. The MoS coating on the tool edge creates a highly lubricating surface that facilitates cutting of the material, thus significantly reducing the generated heat, improving the working conditions of the cutting tool. Naturally, cutting fluids are used whenever possible to dissipate heat from both the workpiece and the tool. However, if we use the MoS additive, the heat problem is addressed simultaneously from two perspectives - heat dissipation and friction reduction - which provides significantly higher guarantees of success. In practice, it has been shown that, for example, with stainless steels, dramatic increases in cutting speeds and machining accuracy can be achieved. The savings from extending the life of cutting tools are also significant.
