Skill Builder: DUMP,CLEAN & RECHARGE

2024-01-19T15:14:11-05:00

DCR is an acronym for “dump, clean & recharge.” The phrase is applied to single sumps or central systems. It means that the time has come to replace the fluid whether it is a coolant, cleaner, stamping fluid or some other water- soluble product. While a DCR sounds simple and straight forward, there are things that have to be communicated to make sure that it is done properly and in a timely fashion. If a DCR is not conducted properly, valuable time and money may be wasted.

How Formulated Dust Suppressants Function

2022-05-16T17:34:57-04:00

Dust can create problems that impact operational efficiency, impair visibility, increase accident risk, and have detrimental effects on the health of workers and the environment. To address these issues, companies in different industries use water as a dust suppression, which is a continuous and costly activity. Communities and regulatory agencies are putting pressure on companies to improve their methods of dust suppression because of the many problems dust is likely to generate.

Fire Safety In Hot Forming Hydraulic Presses

2020-03-17T04:57:08-04:00

One of the main risks of fire is linked to the use of mineral oil in the hydraulic systems. At the units, substantial leakage has been observed. Most leakage takes place through accidents like ruptured hoses, or leaking couplings. Mineral oils are highly flammable and are a serious source of fire hazard in high temperature environments and applications close to open flames or red-hot metal parts. The risk is further increased by the rapid and aggressive ignition rate of mineral oils. Today mineral oil dangers present industries with a very real major risk. With QUINTOLUBRIC® 888, this risk can be reduced and managed preventively.

Why Fluid Lubrication Is Critical For Padded Reaming

2020-11-20T10:22:31-05:00

As the name implies, the padded reamer differs from a fluted reamer in that the padded reamer has a cutting surface and guide pads that ride on the diameter of the hole to put pressure on the cutting surface which generates the hole size and geometry. The guide pads also act as a burnishing tool to help provide a smooth surface finish. Since the pad forces are “riding” on the inside surface of the hole, significant lubrication is necessary in padded reamer operations to eliminate scratches on the hole surface and maintain the required surface finish.

Coping With Temperature Variation On The Surface Of Dies – Smart Polymer Chemistry

2020-03-18T08:00:44-04:00

High pressure die casting is a process of forcing molten alloy at high pressure into a die. Common alloys are alumi¬num, zinc and magnesium. The dies can be very complex and the variation of parts produced is extensive. Due to the wide variation in die design, size and complexity, the flow of alloy through the die and the thermodynamic profile of each system is unique. This leads to tempera¬ture variation, hot areas and cold areas on the die sur¬face. Two of the major roles of a die casting lubricant are, protect the die from the molten alloy and provide release of the casting. Therefore the need for a lubricant to be effective in a broad temperature range is preferred.

3 Methods to Prolong Die Life in High Pressure Die Casting

2020-03-18T08:00:44-04:00

A key contributor to shortened die life is thermal fatigue. In high pressure die casting, production cycle times typically range from a few seconds to just over a minute. Within this span, the die cavity is being sprayed with die lubricant (the lubricant may be cold, cool, or hot, depending on the environment), then the die is sprayed with compressed air, closed, and finally injected with very hot molten alloy. Throughout this production cycle, the temperature of the die steel sharply rises and falls. As a die is continually cycled, the yield strength of the tool steel is reduced, which causes tensile stresses that lead to cracking of the tool.

Relativity Of Acid Number For Hydraulic Fluids

TAN merely measures the corrosive acids present in the fluid, and will increase over time as an indication of the deterioration of the fluid. However, different lubricant technologies such as mineral oil-based or polyol-ester-based hydraulic fluids and different additive technologies result in different TAN values
