Development of metalworking fluids (MWFs) and other specialty chemical products is complicated by the large number of ingredients with interactive effects on the properties of the finished product. In the past, chemists typically made 400 or more formulations from the inception to the completion of a project while testing the effects of each ingredient individually.

由于大量的成分对成品特性有相互作用,因此金属加工液(MWF)和其他特种化学品的开发变得较为复杂。过去,化学家从项目开始到完工通常都会制备400个或更多的配方,同时逐个测定每种成分的影响。

 

More recently, Houghton has moved to using design of experiments (DOE) to simultaneously assess the effects of many ingredients, including any interactions between ingredients. Recently chemists used this approach to develop a new metal-cutting fluid with superior emulsion stability while making fewer than 200 formulations.

最近,霍顿(Houghton)已经开始使用实验设计(DOE)来同时评估多种成分的影响,包括成分之间的任何一种相互作用。近来,化学家们使用这种方法开发出一种具有优异乳液稳定性的新型金属切削液,而制备的配方则不到200个。

 

MWFs play an important role in machining metal parts by keeping the workpiece at a stable temperature so close tolerances can be held. They also lubricate the cutting tool to increase its life, prevent rust on workpieces and cutters and help improve the quality of the workpiece by continuously removing metal fines, chips and swarf from the cutting tool and surface of the workpiece.

金属加工业将工件保持在稳定的温度,以保证紧密容差,因此在加工金属部件时发挥着重要的作用。它们还可以润滑切削刀具,延长刀具的寿命,防止工件和刀具生锈,并通过持续清除刀具和工件表面上的金属细屑、切屑和削屑来帮助提高工件质量。
