A mineral oil containing an emulsifying agent capable of mixing readily with water to form a stable oil-in-water emulsion.  Used in metal cutting operations requiring high lubricating and cooling efficiency.

A condition of lubrication in which the film thickness of the lubricant is such that the friction between the surfaces is determined by the properties of the surfaces as well as the viscosity of the lubricant.

The part being machined or ground.

A class of chemical compounds whose aqueous solution has a pH less than 7.0.

Oil which contains chemically active ingredients to prevent metal-to-metal friction when the pressures become too great for the natural film strength of the oil.

A chemical compound added to a lubricant or metalworking fluid for the purpose of imparting new properties or for enhancing those properties for which it already has.

A class of chemical compounds whose aqueous solution has a pH greater than 7.0.

A controlled heating and cooling cycle to remove stress, induce softness, or refine the structure of a metal.  Annealing generally imparts improved machinability.

A class of chemical compounds whose aqueous solution has a pH greater than 7.0.

A chemical agent which kill microorganisms.
