Wallover Oil Co. introduces two new machining coolants: WS 7450 and WS 7450HP.
WS 7450 is a heavy duty, chlorinated semi-synthetic coolant that forms a transparent micro-emulsion when mixed with water.
WS 7450HP has a similar formulation but also offers excellent foam control. This feature makes it ideal for high pressure CNC and grinding operations.
Wallover's WS 7450 and WS 7450HP can be used on a wide range of metals including tough stainless steel alloys, cast aluminum, ferrous metals, and cast iron. They offer excellent rust and corrosion protection for the inner workings of the machine tool and they also offer extreme pressure lubrication, which can increase the life of the tool while also providing excellent surface finish.

- alloys
alloys
Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
