General Description

Hangsterfer’s Cobalt Grinder is a pure synthetic coolant deigned for the grinding of carbide. Cobalt leaching is a concern when grinding carbide materials with water based coolants, and the Cobalt Grinder addresses these issues. Designed with the ability to inhibit cobalt leaching, this product allows for the use of water when grinding carbide materials. Filterability is excellent as is work piece visibility. The Cobalt grinder may be cleaned with any aqueous or solvent-based parts cleaning system.

Application

Grinding of carbide-based materials where water based synthetic coolant is preferred.Surface,Edge,ID,OD,* We have a full line of specialty oils designed for grinding carbide also* May be used as a general-purpose synthetic grinding coolant if needed.Surface,ID-OD,etc.

Aluminum Alloys Low Carbon Steel Bass & Bronze Precious Metals Nickel Alloys Powdered Metals Copper Alloys Plastics & Composites Stainless Steel Tool Steel & High Speed Steel Ductile Iron Refractory Metals Carbide Titanium & Ceramics Cast Iron Glass High Carbon Steel

Instructions

Always premix coolant before adding to the machine sump. When mixing coolant by hand it is important to always add the concentrate to the water and then agitate. For best results a Hangsterfer’s recommended proportioning unit should be used. To maintain recommended concentration, make-up should be added at one-half the desired concentration. To maintain 6%: first charge the machine at 6%, then as needed add make-up at 3%. Never add straight water or concentrate directly to machine.

Maintenance

Cobalt Grinder is a biostable coolant, designed to control the growth of bacteria. Regular maintenance is required for maximum performance. Concentration should be monitored regularly with a calibrated refractometer. The refractometer reading needs to be multiplied by 4.5 in order to determine the actual concentration (e.g. 1 on refrac. =4.5 %). Tramp oils should be removed from the coolant surface regularly to prevent unwanted bacterial growth. Keep the coolant system free of cleaners, solvents and other contaminants. Please note that the Cobalt Grinder will run clear at design levels of 5%. If it drops below design levels, it will start to turn pink, indicating the presence of cobalt in the solution. Always maintain correct concentrations.
