THERE IS A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SYSTEM MAINTENANCE PRODUCTIVITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

NOW YOU CAN CUT THE COMPROMISE IN ALUMINIUM MACHINING When producing precision components for the automotive, machinery and fabricated metal goods industries there are many demands and challenges faced. It is a daily requirement to hit increasingly high production targets, deal with pressure to refine schedules and reduce downtime. Castrol’s experts have been working to help combat these conflicting challenges to enable you to manage your cutting fluid maintenance without compromising overall performance. Castrol has formulated Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB – a unique technology which is boron and...

Tests show that Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB can remain effective for longer than conventional machining fluids, because the formulation is inherently more resistant to changes in pH due to microbiological activity. It can reduce the time and cost associated with additional top ups helping you to meet production goals. In laboratory testing Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB has been shown to be able to neutralise up to 33% more acidic material than standard aluminium cutting fluids. This means it remains effective for longer.1 PROVEN BENEFITS Example one A European customer, producing profiles for the automotive...

Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB extends fluid life and ultimately reduces interventions and downtime as proven in the comparative laboratory analysis. PROVEN BENEFITS Example A European automotive manufacturing customer used Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB and they were able to: — Eliminate the usage of biocides with a saving of around 11 Tonnes — Eliminate the usage of fungicides with a saving of around 1.8 Tonnes — Reduce the lubricant usage by 34% when compared to the previous product over a period of one year We have tested Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB against typical competitor products. At the end of 80...

Before Using standard cutting fluids After Using Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB cutting fluids intervention reduced to zero. A Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB significantly reduces Biocide or can eliminate the need for biocide additives reducing time and cost.

Its excellent lubricating properties help prevent swarf build up overall, assuring a high quality surface finish, low scrappage rates and tooling costs, and improving quality to the final cut. Tapping torque test results demonstrate good lubrication on different aluminium alloys which typically benefits tool life and surface finish. ■ Alusol SL 51 XBB Alternate product 1 D Alternate product 2 Castrol Alusol SL 51 XBB performs well against the commonly used alternative products also tested by Castrol. PROVEN BENEFITS Example one A Japanese customer machining motor shafts had been having problems...
