Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metalworking fluid technology, and in particular to a no-clean copper cutting fluid and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Metalworking fluids are commonly used in non-ferrous metal processing to provide lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and rust prevention. These fluids often contain alkaline substances such as organic amines, which can corrode non-ferrous metals. The usual practice is to add corrosion inhibitors and metal passivators to mitigate this corrosion. Patent CN114854482A discloses a copper cutting fluid that uses special amines AMP95 and methyldiethanolamine as organic bases, combined with copper corrosion inhibitors to obtain a semi-synthetic cutting fluid. However, in this solution, AMP95 and methyldiethanolamine exhibit significant corrosiveness to copper, especially pure copper.
[0003] Most copper cutting fluids on the market require cleaning after machining copper workpieces to prevent corrosion. Residual cutting fluid on the surface of copper workpieces often leads to corrosion because the concentrated cutting fluid becomes more alkaline, accelerating corrosion and causing discoloration. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a no-clean copper cutting fluid and its preparation method. This no-clean copper cutting fluid possesses excellent lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and rust prevention functions. It is free of heavy metals, nitrites, and other substances, making it environmentally friendly, harmless to the human body, and causing minimal skin irritation. It can be widely used in industries such as machining, mold making, aerospace manufacturing, and automobile manufacturing. The no-clean copper cutting fluid exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition properties for copper, causes no corrosion to copper during processing, leaves copper workpieces bright and new, and provides rust prevention for more than 7 days after processing. No cleaning is required after processing, further reducing production costs and eliminating cumbersome cleaning processes.
