Rapid Tool Wear
High cutting temps and inadequate EP lubrication accelerate crater and flank wear, shortening tool life and hurting dimensional stability.

Cutting & Forming Fluid Solutions
From high-speed machining to complex cold forming, KERUN delivers tailored fluid solutions that extend tool life, protect mold integrity, and deliver superior surface finishes—while keeping your total operating cost under control.
Process Challenges
In cutting and forming, success hinges on the micron-thick lubrication film. We align fluid chemistry with your process mechanics—balancing EP strength and friction coefficients to eliminate BUE and galling. This is how we turn high-friction liabilities into high-precision assets.
High cutting temps and inadequate EP lubrication accelerate crater and flank wear, shortening tool life and hurting dimensional stability.
Built-up edge (BUE), chatter marks, or galling in forming lead to rework or rejected parts.
Emulsion splitting, fungal growth, or tramp oil ingress raises maintenance load and harms operator environment.
Frequent tool changes, higher reject rates, and shortened fluid life silently erode margins.
KERUN Solution Approach
We map your material machinability, forming severity, tool/substrate combinations, and current fluid condition. This builds a baseline for optimization.
For cutting, we balance EP/AW additives and oil-water affinity to suppress BUE and control heat. For forming, we tune frictional behavior (μ) and film strength to prevent galling and enable deeper draws without die pickup.
Supervise central system fill or single-machine charge, set target concentration windows, and align mist collection/nozzle placement. Ensure lab-proven surface roughness (Ra) and tool life gains are replicated on the floor.
Routine checks on concentration (refractometer), pH drift, fungal screening, and tramp oil skimming. Proactive top-up scheduling and batch-end disposal guidance to minimize operator exposure and waste cost.
Product Systems
KERUN recommends cutting & forming product systems according to material, machining method, tool system, water quality, surface target, corrosion protection needs, and workshop maintenance conditions.
Typical Applications
Metalworking fluid performance is essential for parts where machining accuracy, surface quality, tool life, and production cleanliness directly affect manufacturing value.
