The role of dimer acid in cutting fluid

1. Stable performance
Dimer acid is often used to make cutting fluid, which can help stabilize the properties of cutting fluid and ensure its long-term use effect. Because cutting fluid is easily affected by factors such as air and moisture during use, it leads to unstable properties and excessive water content. Dimer acid can effectively stabilize the properties of cutting fluid, making it less likely to deteriorate during use and increasing the service life of cutting fluid.
2. Inhibit metal corrosion
Dimer acid can also inhibit metal corrosion and play a good protective role in cutting fluid. Because metals are easily affected by oxidation, corrosion and other factors during cutting or grinding, they will have a great impact on the service life of parts. Cutting fluids with dimer acid added can protect metals during cutting, reduce corrosion and increase the service life of parts.
3. Improve the cooling performance of cutting fluids
Dimer acid can also improve the cooling performance of cutting fluids, allowing them to better reduce the temperature of materials and ensure the smooth progress of the cutting process. Because during the cutting process, the material will generate high temperature due to frictional heat, and high temperature will affect the cutting quality and processing efficiency. Cutting fluids with dimer acid added can reduce material temperature while improving the lubrication performance of the cutting fluid, making processing smoother.
4. Anti-foaming
Adding a certain amount of dimer acid to the cutting fluid can also effectively prevent the cutting fluid from foaming due to the generation of gas. The generation of cutting fluid foam will seriously affect the performance and service life of the cutting fluid, and will also affect the cutting quality and processing efficiency. Dimer acid can effectively reduce the generation of foam and ensure the stability and processing effect of the cutting fluid.
In short, dimer acid, as a commonly used cutting fluid additive, has many important functions. However, during use, it is also necessary to pay attention to the amount and quality of dimer acid to ensure that the amount added is appropriate to avoid adverse effects on processing and parts. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent excessive use of dimer acid from having adverse effects on the cutting fluid.
