When it comes to the huge variety of industries within the metalworking sphere, each industry comes with its own set of unique challenges that metalworking fluids are there to solve. From the robust agriculture machines, to the refined and precise aerospace parts, to the medical equipment critical to saving lives, the proper metalworking fluids help ensure metalworking processes have the required results.

Driven by higher consumer buying power and the electric vehicle market, the automotive industry is primed for growth. But just like any industry, this industry has its own set of challenges.

Here are some of the unique challenges faced in the automotive industry:

• Automotive parts must be delivered to exact specifications, with a very low tolerance for error.
• Consistency is critical and parts are carefully inspected and tracked.
• Bound by strict regulations, some materials including the metalworking fluid used in automotive production, may need OEM approvals.
• Production is often high volume and tool life is critical.
• To meet tighter fuel economy standards, automakers are reducing weight in vehicles wherever possible.

There are numerous ways Master Fluid Solutions supports companies in the automotive industry:

• Master Fluid Solutions fluids play a large role in ensuring that products meet automotive customers’ exacting standards.
• TRIM E923, a proprietary blend of extreme pressure additives, extends tool life and optimises lubricity - even in the most difficult cutting operations.
• Our stamping oil created for severe forming operations, allows steel and aluminium to form and reshape without defects into more complex, lightweight parts. The lower scrap rate also contributes to additional cost savings.
• Made with renewable, plant-based ingredients instead of petroleum, Master Fluid Solutions' neo-synthetic, TRIM HyperSol 888NXT, mitigates fossil fuel consumption in manufacturing and reduces carbon emissions.
• Sustainably made coolants such as HyperSol allow manufacturers to run machines faster without affecting finish quality or shortening tool life. In fact, a precision parts manufacturer improved tool life by 234 percent with HyperSol, while also increasing production speeds.
