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.
| Machining load | Working fluid refractometer reading | Mixing ratio (concentrate : water) | Daily top-up fluid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light duty | 4-5 | 1:15 - 1:10 | Daily top-up: refractometer reading 3 (1:20) |
| Medium duty | 5-8 | 1:10 - 1:7 | Daily top-up: refractometer reading 3-5 |
| Heavy duty | 10-12 | 1:6 - 1:4 | Daily top-up: refractometer reading 7-10 |
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.
