Understanding the Role and Function of Metalworking Fluids
Metalworking fluids play a crucial role in enhancing the performance of workpieces by continuously removing dust, chips, and swarf from both the cutting tool and the surface of the workpiece. These fluids, a combination of oils and other substances, are applied to cool and lubricate metal components during machining, crushing, or milling operations. By reducing heat and friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece, metalworking fluids help prevent burning and smoking, ensuring smoother and more precise production processes.
Factors Contributing to Market Growth in Metalworking Fluids
One of the main drivers of growth in the metalworking fluids market is the expanding automotive industry. This sector comprises a wide range of businesses involved in designing, developing, producing, marketing, and selling automobiles. Automobile manufacturers rely heavily on metalworking fluids to minimize heat and friction during cutting and grinding processes throughout car parts manufacturing.
For example, in July 2023, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (a UK-based trade association) reported an 11.7% rise in UK car production during the first half of 2023, totaling 450,168 units. June alone saw a 16.2% increase, marking the fifth straight month of growth. Since January, factories produced an additional 47,037 units, largely driven by a 13.6% jump in exports, which accounted for 359,940 units or 80% of total output. Domestic production also grew by 4.5% to 90,228 units. This upward trend in automotive manufacturing is significantly propelling the demand for metalworking fluids.
