The great flexibility and versatility of the different types of machining method are particularlysignificant in the metal working industries. Although for some years now there has been growing trend towards non-cutting (forming) methods for work piece quality reasons and to save material and process costs, this has still not had any obvious effects on the volume share of lubricants. This is also apparent from the machine tools statistics. The dramatic changed prophesied in the nineteen seventies did not take place in the nineteen eighties and nineties.
Because of the particular significance of cooling for the cutting operation, this process is called cooling lubrication and the fluids used are called coolants. Apart from this term “Coolant” which is commonly used in general practice, there are also numerous others. Terms for specific application such as, for eg. cutting oils, grinding oils, reaming oils, deep hole drilling oils and honing oils.
MACHING OF METALS
Water Based Cutting Fluids (Soluble Cutting Oils)
Neat Cutting Oils
The following points concerning the storage and use of soluble oils are important.
STORAGE
Exposure of packages to moisture or to excessive heat or cold should be avoided.
MIXING
To make the emulsion, add the necessary quantity of oil to the water (never the water to the oil), meanwhile stir constantly. Do not use hot water or steam. Use absolutely clean vessels.

Soluble cutting oil is a combination of mineral oil, petroleum additives and emulsifier, when water is added in an oil, the stable milky emulsion is formed. It has an objectionable odour and it also causes staining & discoloration.
