[Improvement Case] Selection of lubricants suitable for processing conditions to prevent discoloration of copper.

Reduced labor and costs associated with post-processing cleaning! The range of materials that can be processed has expanded.

We would like to introduce a case where a company engaged in general cutting processing in Niigata Prefecture consulted us about selecting the appropriate oil agent to prevent discoloration of copper and stickiness of cutting oil. The company faced a problem where products were discolored after processing copper for new projects. To suppress the discoloration of copper caused by cutting oil, they were washing the products with a parts cleaner to prevent discoloration. After implementation, the copper no longer discolored after processing, eliminating the need to use the parts cleaner, which allowed them to reduce the labor involved in cleaning and save approximately 20,000 yen annually in costs. 【Case Summary】 ■Challenges - Processing copper resulted in discoloration of the material and discoloration and stickiness of water-soluble cutting oil, leading to inefficient production. ■Implementation Effects - Prevented discoloration of copper and discoloration and stickiness of cutting oil, reducing the labor and costs associated with product cleaning and cutting oil replacement. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
