Problems Related to Chips

The metals we machine are minerals and can adversely affect coolant's chemistry, leading to fluid failure.

Most damaging are iron, aluminum, and magnesium, which have highly positively charged molecules that can split the coolant emulsion.

As the oil distribution becomes unstable, your coolant can attract excessive amounts of tramp oil, leading to emulsified oil which may not gravity separate.

Recirculating particles tend to wear tooling prematurely and can affect parts surface finishes.

However, any chip pile acts as a nest for bacteria to grow and thrive.

Remove as much of your chip load as you can on a regular basis.
