Q8Oils’ Q8 Bach AHM cutting fluid features all-temperature active additives and heavy lubricity agent

Q8 Bach AHM, a medium viscosity, heavy duty machining fluid, features an EP additive package active at all temperatures supporting excellent finish through a full range of speeds and feeds – from the heaviest removal of stock, down to finishing with light cuts. In addition, a heavy lubricity agent allows maximum contact of the fluid with the workpiece at all times, helping to eliminate judder and poor finish when using exceptionally large cuts and high feedrates. The Q8 mist-reducing additive package is also incorporated into the formulation. Q8 Bach AHM has been formulated for general duty cutting, milling, thread grinding, deep-hole and gun drilling; as well as broaching operations using non-ferrous materials. However, it can also be used to machine extremely demanding steel alloys, as the EP additive package provides boundary lubrication at the vital tool tip/chip interface. This level of lubrication, explains Q8, helps prevent the build-up of edge and chip welding, as well as reducing tool wear and the energy consumption of the machine." Q8 Bach AHM is suitable for all steels including high tensile, high alloy steels, and stainless, but is unsuitable for use with non-ferrous metals due to its active EP package.
