Oil‑based cutting fluid is made by mixing base oil with tribological additives and auxiliary additives, and does not need to be diluted with water when used. The base oil of oil‑based cutting fluid is divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil. Mineral oil is a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from the refining of fossil fuels such as petroleum. According to the source of its raw material oil, it can be divided into two types: paraffin based and naphthenic based. Synthetic oil mainly includes synthetic hydrocarbons and synthetic esters. Among them, mineral oil‑based cutting fluid has the characteristics of excellent lubrication and antirust properties, and is most used.
