Our client’s existing fluids were not performing to the required standard, creating several issues during the machining process. Tasked with finding a solution, we recommended Hysol MB 50 and suggested several quality control measures. The outcome was extremely positive,

with improvements in performance, productivity and operating conditions.

Challenge

Kun Aerospace, based in Chennai, India, is one of the fastest-growing aero-component suppliers in the industry, supplying major players, such as Pratt & Whitney, Airbus, Boeing, Eaton, and Rolls Royce. Kun Aerospace manufactures complex components using a range of different metallurgies, including nickel alloys (Inconel), titanium alloys, yellow metals, and aerospace aluminium (7000 series). Kun had been using several different water-soluble cutting fluids in their machining processes from our competitors, TRIM and Houghton & Blaser.The existing fluids were not performing to the required standard, creating issues like black staining, premature sump failure, and unpleasant odours on the shop floor. All this was squeezing the company’s profit margin.

Solution

We acted fast to resolve the situation, starting with a thorough review of each application and metallurgical process. After due consideration, we recommended Hysol MB 50 – a high- performance soluble metalworking fluid which could be used across all Kun’s machine operations.To ensure optimum performance, we stationed a specialist on-site to monitor KPIs. We also conducted an intensive training course on the basics of water-soluble coolant technology and best maintenance practices.

Outcome

The client was delighted with the results. Hysol MB 50 improved performance across all of Kun’s machining applications and metallurgy, including nickel, bronze and titanium. Hysol MB 50 is chlorine and sulphur-free, and thanks to its unique formulation, it performs at the same level as heavy- duty soluble oils without any of the unpleasant side effects. As a result, after a rigorous trial, there was no black staining in any of the aluminium components and no foul smell on the shop floor. The tight, stable emulsion of Hysol MB 50 also meant the oil’s pH and concentration levels remained extremely stable throughout
