Applications & Uses

Application Area
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Applications

CIMTECH 310 can be used on wrought aluminum alloys (2024, 6061, 7050, and 7075), cast aluminum alloys (380, 390), cast iron, nodular iron, carbon steels, stainless steels, titanium and other exotic alloys. It should not be used on magnesium alloys.
CIMTECH 310 metalworking fluid is recommended for machining and grinding operations, including creep feed grinding, on non-ferrous or ferrous metals.

Concentration

BCG Titration, Total Alkalinity, CIMCHEK™ Test Strip or Refractometer can be used.
The Refractometer Factor is 1.7
Multiply the scale reading obtained on your CIMCOOL® Refractometer by this factor to obtain the mix concentration in percent. Calibrate the refractometer so that it reads 0.0 with water before testing the sample mix. Remove gross contaminants from the sample mixes before testing. A refractometer is only recommended for use in checking the concentration on a fresh charge.

Technical Details & Test Data

Recommended Starting Dilutions

CIMTECH 310 is to be mixed with water for use. Always add concentrate to water. Fluid may be more difficult to mix when water temperature is below 55°F (13°C). Add no other materials to the concentrate or mix unless approved by your CIMCOOL® Territory Manager.
Grinding 5% - 10% (1:20 to 1:10)
Machining 5% - 10% (1:20 to 1:10)
