Developing and Managing Sustainable Metalworking Fluids
Longer-lasting metalworking fluids (MWFs) are more sustainable from the standpoints of cost per part and impact on the environment; less waste equals less impact. This workshop will help attendees gain a greater understanding of water-dilutable MWFs and why they fail, and learn how to minimize the risk of failure.
Who Should Attend?
This class is intended for MWF producers and distributors, raw material manufacturers and distributors (base oils, additives, etc.), MWF technical service personnel, MWF users (machinists, plant engineers, fluid managers, etc.), equipment suppliers (filtration, water treatment, mist collectors, recycling, etc.) and lab testing equipment suppliers (biological dip slides, conductivity meters, water hardness and other wet chemical test kits, etc.).
Why Should You Attend?
The demands on formulators, raw material suppliers and end users of MWFs have never been greater. Manufacturing cost and part quality requirements, competing technologies (additive manufacturing, etc.), and sustainability factors (impact on global warming, land and water, etc.) are putting greater pressure than ever on all segments of the MWF value chain. This seminar will help all MWF stakeholders learn how they can positively impact the performance and longevity of MWFs, and thereby help move the industry in a more sustainable direction.
