Estimating the term…
A cutting fluid applicable for the machining of vitreous, crystalline or aggregate materials such as glass, glass-ceramics, ceramics, stone, concrete, silicon and the like. The cutting fluid comprises a solution containing organic molecules—in particular silanes, silanols, and siloxanes—capable of forming covalent bonds with such vitreous, crystalline or aggregate materials. The organic molecules in the cutting fluid is believed to improve the rate of manufacturing productivity, surface finish quality, and decrease the incidence of sub-surface damage caused by particulate adhesion to the cutting or abrading tool during a machining process of these kinds of substrates. The reduced clogging of cutting surfaces and increased lubricity of the cutting fluid may also prolong the useful life of the machining tools when used against these kinds of substrates.
A cutting fluid for use in machining vitreous, crystalline, or aggregate materials, the cutting fluid comprising a solution containing at least one type of the following organic molecules:
A cutting fluid for use in machining vitreous, crystalline, or aggregate materials, the cutting fluid comprising a solution containing molecules of at least one type of organosilane or cationic phosphonium compounds, wherein said molecules of organosilane each have a R-group of at least 7 carbons in length when said R-group is either an alkyl or alkoxy radical.
A method of machining substrate materials, the method comprising:
A machining method, the method comprising:
A cutting fluid for use in machining vitreous, glass-ceramic, non-oxide or non-metallic crystalline materials comprising a solution containing at least one type of organic molecule selected from the group consisting essentially of an organosilane, siloxane, silanol, or cationic phosphonium compounds, wherein said molecules have a leaving group.
