It is disclosed that using this aluminum processing oil base oil can further suppress the occurrence of stains during aluminum processing. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0008] According to the present invention, a metalworking fluid composition with good workability can be provided. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0009] (Metalworking oil composition) The metalworking oil composition of this embodiment contains a base oil (A), and the base oil (A) is 1 This includes branched-chain hydrocarbons (A1) in which the proton ratio of methyl groups is between 20 and 50, with the integrated value of all protons detected by 1H-NMR analysis set to 100, and mineral oils (A2) in which the proton ratio of methyl groups is less than 20 or greater than 50.
[0010] The kinematic viscosity of the metalworking oil composition of this embodiment at 40°C is 1.0 mm2 It is preferably at least / s, and 1.1 mm 2 More preferably, it is at least / s, and 1.2 mm 2 Even more preferably, it is at least / s, and 1.3 mm 2 Particularly preferably, it is at least / s. The kinematic viscosity at 40°C of the metalworking oil composition of the present embodiment is preferably 7.0 mm 2 or less, and 6.5 mm 2 More preferably, it is 6.0 mm or less 2 Even more preferably, it is 5.5 mm or less 2 Particularly preferably, it is 5.5 mm or less. For example, the kinematic viscosity at 40°C of the metalworking oil composition of the present embodiment is 1.0 mm 2 or more and 7.0 mm 2 or less, preferably 1.1 mm 2 or more and 6.5 mm 2 More preferably, it is 1.2 mm or more and 6.0 mm 2 or less, even more preferably 1.3 mm 2 or more and 6.0 mm 2 or less, and particularly preferably 1.3 mm 2 or more and 5.5 mm or less.
[0011] When the kinematic viscosity at 40°C of the metalworking oil composition of the present embodiment is within the above preferable range, the workability is further improved.
[0012] Unless otherwise specified, the kinematic viscosity at 40°C in this specification means the kinematic viscosity at 40°C measured in accordance with JIS K2283:2000.

The proton ratio of the methyl group of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) is 20 or more, preferably 22 or more, and more preferably 25 or more.
[0015] When the proton ratio of the methyl group of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) is less than 20, that is, when the branching of the base oil is less, it is presumed that a plurality of molecules of the base oil are densely stacked and the additives used are less likely to adsorb onto the surface of the workpiece. On the other hand, when the proton ratio of the methyl group of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) exceeds 65, that is, when the branching of the base oil is more, it is presumed that the gaps between a plurality of molecules of the base oil decrease and the additives used are less likely to adsorb onto the surface of the workpiece. When the proton ratio of the methyl group of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) is within the above-preferred numerical range, that is, when the branching of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) is appropriate, a plurality of molecules of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) become uneven, the gaps between a plurality of molecules of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) increase, and it is presumed that the additives used are more likely to adsorb onto the surface of the workpiece. Therefore, when the proton ratio of the methyl group of the branched-chain hydrocarbon (A1) is within the above-preferred numerical range, the workability is improved.
