Solution

Machining metal parts in the automotive industry is a crucial process that involves cutting, shaping, and finishing metal components with high precision to meet the stringent specifications required in vehicle manufacturing.

This process encompasses various techniques such as turning, milling, drilling, and grinding, utilizing CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines to achieve exceptional accuracy. The produced components, like crankshafts, pistons, and transmission gears, must have extremely tight tolerances and optimal surface quality to ensure vehicle performance and durability.

Here are some common problems in this unit along with innovative solutions from Eonchemicals:

1. Casting Problem: Melting Grease

A common casting problem in the machining of metal parts in the automotive industry is the melting of grease or lubricant during the machining process. This can occur due to high cutting temperatures or inadequate lubrication systems in the machining equipment.

When grease melts, it can lead to decreased performance, increased friction that potentially damages tooling and machine components, and reduced surface quality of the machined parts..

Solution: Molykote, Lubricant Engineer

Molykote and Lubricant Engineer are ideal solutions to address the issue of melting grease in the casting process because both offer lubricants with high-temperature resistance and excellent thermal stability.

Molykote provides silicone-based lubricants that withstand extreme temperatures, reducing the risk of grease melting during high-temperature machining processes. Lubricant Engineer, on the other hand, offers lubricants with special additives that maintain viscosity and provide optimal lubrication even under high-temperature conditions.

By using products from Molykote and Lubricant Engineer, machine performance can be enhanced, excessive friction can be reduced, and the surface quality of machined parts can be maintained, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the casting process.

Eonchemicals is the official distributor of Molykote and Lubricant Engineer in Indonesia, ensuring product authenticity and quality. We also provide lubrication experts to help you optimize your lubricants.

2. Forging Problem: Melting Grease

The melting of grease or lubricant when metal material is heated for the forging process often occurs due to the extremely high temperatures during the heating of metal materials, which can cause the lubricant to melt or burn. When grease melts, it can disrupt the forging process, reducing the final product quality and causing operational issues such as unwanted friction or decreased tool performance.

Solution: Molykote, Lubricant Engineer

Molykote and Lubricant Engineer are two internationally renowned products that have been tested for quality and are widely used in various countries.

Eonchemicals is the official distributor in Indonesia for these lubricants, ensuring the authenticity of these products. Authenticity guarantees also mean quality assurance.

By using products from Molykote and Lubricant Engineer, the final product quality can be improved, and operational problems due to melting grease can be minimized, ensuring a more efficient and smooth forging process.

3. CNC Problem: Irritation, Odor, Wastefulness (Ineffective)

If the coolant or metalworking fluid used is inappropriate and does not meet quality standards, it can cause irritation to operators, unpleasant odors, and ineffective (wasteful) coolant usage. Additionally, it can lead to decreased quality of results and reduced tool machine durability.

Solution: EonTrim

EonTrim can be a solution to address issues of irritation, odor, and ineffective coolant usage in the CNC process because this product is designed to provide maximum cooling and lubrication effects with efficient use.

EonTrim has a skin-friendly formula, reducing the risk of operator irritation, and can prevent bacterial growth, thus eliminating unpleasant odors. Additionally, EonTrim has good durability and high chemical stability, reducing the need for frequent coolant replacement, making its use more economical and effective.

4. Cleaning Part Problem: Cleanliness

A common issue in the cleaning part process in machining metal parts in the automotive industry is related to cleanliness levels not meeting the expected standards. This can be caused by residues of coolant, grease, or metal debris remaining on the component surfaces after machining.

Insufficient cleanliness can result in reduced final product quality, as well as potential issues such as corrosion, component failure, or obstacles in the assembly and finishing process.

Solution: EonTrim Clean

This product is specifically designed to effectively remove residues of coolant, grease, and metal debris. EonTrim Clean has a powerful yet safe cleaning formula, ensuring that component surfaces are free from contaminants that can degrade the final product quality.

With optimal cleaning capabilities, EonTrim Clean helps prevent issues such as corrosion, component failure, and obstacles in the assembly and finishing process, ensuring results that meet high cleanliness standards and improve overall production efficiency.

5. Anti-Rust Problem: Rust Formation

This problem can occur due to suboptimal application of anti-rust, uneven coverage on the entire component surface, especially in hard-to-reach or hidden areas. Extreme environmental conditions can also affect the performance of anti-rust protectants.

Poor quality anti-rust chemicals can also very likely cause this problem.
