In recent years, China has imported more and more advanced manufacturing equipment such as CNC machine tools and machining centers, making it one of the fastest growing countries in the global machine tool and mold market.
With the development of domestic metal processing industry, the increase of advanced processing equipment and the improvement of processing technology, metal cutting fluid is also developing constantly, and the application range of water-based cutting fluid is getting wider and wider, and it has begun to transition from emulsion to synthetic cutting fluid and microemulsion with good performance and long life.
Nowadays, the machining technology in the world is developing in the direction of high speed, high precision and high flexibility, and various multifunctional high-speed, high precision and high flexibility metal machining machines are widely used, such as CNC machining machines and machining centers.
(Mainly concentrated in the following four industries) Due to the high running speed, low tool consumption and high machining accuracy of modern metal processing machinery, turning, milling, planing and drilling can be completed at one time, and the application effect of water-based cutting fluid in practice is very ideal.
Therefore, at present, most of the advanced continuous multi-functional metal processing technologies in China market use water-based metal processing fluids.
In 2004, China's machine tool and die industry developed fastest, among which the annual output of metal cutting machine tools in 2004 was 389,400, up 36.0% year-on-year, and the total industrial output value of metal processing machine tool manufacturing industry reached 30 billion yuan.
The rapid growth of machinery manufacturing market demand has prompted the corresponding increase in market demand for machine tools and molds.
By the end of 2004, there were about 4 million machine tools in use in China, including about 200,000 CNC machine tools, accounting for 5% of the total number of machine tools.
With the development of metalworking, the consumption of water-based metalworking fluids has reached an all-time high. In 2004, the total output of lubricating oil in China reached 4.64 million tons, of which water-based metal processing fluid exceeded 300,000 tons.
