Microemulsion Fluid for Magnesium and Its Alloys

MG50

Microemulsion Cutting Fluid for Magnesium Alloys

MG50 is a microemulsion cutting fluid developed for machining magnesium and its alloys. It is also suitable for iron, steel, aluminum alloys and stainless steel. It combines cooling, lubricity, rust inhibition and corrosion protection, helping to reduce phase separation, short fluid life and workpiece discoloration from oxidation associated with conventional magnesium-alloy cutting fluids.

Mixing & use

Maintain a working fluid refractometer reading of 4-12. Readings below 4 can promote bacterial growth and fluid deterioration; readings above 12 may increase skin irritation.

Formulation

Base oil, rust inhibitor, emulsifier, lubricant, extreme-pressure additive, high-performance corrosion inhibitor, auxiliary additives, biocide and deionized water. The formulation contains no nitrite ions, hexavalent chromium ions, sodium nitrite, chlorine, sulfur or phenol.

Use & handling

Gradual color darkening during storage is normal and does not affect use. Do not mix with other oils. Magnesium chips and powder must be removed promptly in accordance with the facility’s fire-safety procedures.
