Characteristic properties of water-soluble cutting fluids additives for iron and aluminium materials

This review article describes preparations and properties of new types of water-based cutting fluids derived from various materials. It is concerned with synthetic additives classified according to their functional groups: carboxylic acids, esters, dibasic acids, ethers, amides, substituted fatty acids and others for iron materials. Some anti-corrosion additives for aluminium materials are described on half esters, Diels-Alder adducts, dibasic acids and phosphoric esters.
