Quaker concerns the lubricating properties of new alloys

Luo Dijie, technical manager of Quaker Market, said in an interview that 2013 will be another exciting year for the Chinese metal processing industry. The Chinese economy has slowed down from the growth rate in previous years, but there are still many opportunities. Because customers face the challenge of improving product quality, increasing production efficiency and reducing costs. He pointed out that the materials used in metal processing are no longer just ferrous metals such as cast iron. More and more aluminum alloys, nickel alloys, and CGI are used to process various components to meet more stringent conditions of use and lighter weight. The trend, this trend not only appears in the automotive industry, but also in the aerospace field, and these industries are the industries that thrive in China today.

Luo Dijie emphasized that these trends require better lubricity of metalworking fluids and higher surface precision. At the same time, manufacturers are also actively looking for more sustainable operating models to minimize the impact of the company's production and operations on the environment, while at the same time reducing overall operating costs. More water savings, less waste, and more use of natural resources will be a hot topic for the next year.

As a leader in the field of process oil products, Quaker Chemical has invested a large amount of manpower and resources in advance to conduct forward-looking research. “Our global R&D center conducts special research on the lubrication properties of various new alloy materials. Our metalworking fluids and cleaning agents use a smaller amount of mineral oil, and we also help many factories achieve chemicals through 2 PAQ two-component technology. The recycling has extended the service life, reduced waste discharge by 90%, and saved a lot of hydropower resources, making it a model for sustainable development."
