Characteristic Properties of Water-Soluble Cutting Fluids Additives for Iron Materials

Abstract

This review article describes preparations and properties of various types of water-soluble cutting fluids additives derived from various materials. It is concerned with synthetic additives classified according to their functional groups: carboxylic acids, esters, dibasic acids, ethers, amides, substituted fatty acids and others for iron materials. Testing methods for water-soluble cutting fluids are described on ways for laboratory and practical tests for factory.
