為了提高切削液的性能,在水基切削液中需添加油性劑、極壓劑、防銹劑,表面活性劑等幾種乃幾十種添加劑。三乙醇胺是水基切削液中一種重要的添加劑。這里我們就講講三乙醇胺在水基切削液中的作用與應用。

In order to improve the performance of Cutting fluid, several or even dozens of additives such as oiliness agent, extreme pressure agent, antirust agent and surfactant should be added to the water-based Cutting fluid. Triethanolamine is an important additive in water-based Cutting fluid. Here we will talk about the role and application of Triethanolamine in water-based Cutting fluid.

三乙醇胺是由環氧乙烷與氨水反應生成,其精制品為無色粘稠狀液體。吸濕性強,在空氣中變為黃褐色。易溶于水和乙醇,微溶于乙-醚和苯。pH=8～8.5,不能隨水蒸汽一起揮發。

Triethanolamine is produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia, and its refined product is colorless viscous liquid. It has strong hygroscopicity and turns yellow brown in the air. Easily soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in ethyl ether and benzene. PH=8-8.5, cannot evaporate with water vapor.

合成水溶性油性劑

Synthetic water-soluble oil based agent

目前,潤滑性能比較好的油性劑大多是長碳鏈物質,這些物質大多是非水溶性的。要把它們添加在水基切削液中,必須在其分子鏈中引入親水基團。三乙醇胺有三個-OH,水溶性好。通過控制原料配比,使三乙醇胺分子中一個OH與油性劑發生化學反應,可生成水溶性油性劑。

At present, most of the oil based agents with good lubrication performance are long carbon chain substances, which are mostly insoluble in water. To add them to water-based Cutting fluid, hydrophilic groups must be introduced into its molecular chain. Triethanolamine has three OH, which is well water-soluble. By controlling the ratio of raw materials, one OH in the molecule of Triethanolamine can react with the oiliness agent to produce water-soluble oiliness agent.

防銹劑

Rust inhibitor

三乙醇胺本身是一種水溶性防銹劑。單獨使用它在短期內可有效防止鋼鐵生銹,一般使用濃度為0.5%～2%。三乙醇胺與苯乙醇胺、苯甲酸鈉、硼砂、碳酸鈉等水溶性防銹劑有協同防銹作用,復合使用可顯著提高水基切削液防銹能力。但三乙醇胺對銅有腐蝕作用,添加0.05%～0.1%的苯并三氮唑能改善對銅的防腐性。油酸三乙醇胺也是一種防銹劑,它適用于黑色金屬、鋁合金的防銹。

Triethanolamine itself is a water-soluble rust inhibitor. It can effectively prevent steel from rusting in the short term when used alone, with a general concentration of 0.5% to 2%. Triethanolamine has synergistic antirust effect with Phenethyl alcohol amine, Sodium benzoate, borax, sodium carbonate and other water-soluble antirust agents, and the antirust ability of water-based Cutting fluid can be significantly improved by combined use. But Triethanolamine is corrosive to copper, and the addition of 0.05% ～ 0.1% benzotriazole can improve the corrosion resistance of copper. Oleic acid Triethanolamine is also a kind of rust inhibitor, which is suitable for rust prevention of Ferrous and aluminum alloy.

表面活性劑

surface active agent 

表面活性劑在水基切削液中起滲透、擴散、穩定、清洗作用,是合成切削液與乳狀液必不可少的添加劑。三乙醇胺與脂肪酸可合成一種陰離子表面活性劑。不同配比、不同脂肪酸合成的表面活性劑其HLB值不同,可適合于不同水基切削液的需要。這些表面活性劑均有良好的乳化能力,若與非離子表面活性劑烷基酚聚氧乙烯醚或脂肪醇聚氧乙烯醚配合使用,乳化效果更佳。

Surfactant plays a role of penetration, diffusion, stability and cleaning in water-based Cutting fluid, and is an indispensable additive for the synthesis of Cutting fluid and emulsion. Triethanolamine and fatty acid can synthesize an anionic surfactant. Surfactants with different ratios and different Fatty acid synthesis have different HLB values, which can meet the needs of different water-based Cutting fluid. These surfactants have good emulsifying ability. If they are used together with non-ionic surfactant Alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether or Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, the emulsifying effect will be better.

三乙醇胺本身也屬于一種非離子表面活性劑,把它加入水中能顯著降低水的表面張力。在水基切削液中添加三乙醇胺將有助于切削液浸潤,滲透于被切削(磨削)界面上,從而能充分發揮水基切削液的冷卻與清洗作用。更多相關事項就來我們網站http://m.topcax.com咨詢！

Triethanolamine itself is also a non-ionic surfactant. Adding it to water can significantly reduce the surface tension of water. Adding Triethanolamine to the water-based Cutting fluid will help the Cutting fluid soak and penetrate into the cutting (grinding) interface, thus giving full play to the cooling and cleaning role of water-based Cutting fluid.
