Abstract: A metalworking fluid includes a pH buffer system having one or more organic acids and one or more organic amines. The organic acids, which include aromatic carboxylic acids and C10 or higher aliphatic carboxylic acids, may replace boric acid, such that boric acid may be excluded from the metalworking fluid. The organic acids may include at least one of phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and terephthalic acid. The one or more organic amines include aliphatic and aromatic amines having an amine value of at least 50 mg KOH/g. A method of using the metalworking fluid includes shaping a metal by contacting the metal surface with a tool while cooling and lubricating at least one of the metal surface or tool with the metalworking fluid.

Abstract: The invention provides a lubricant composition for generating a combined passivate and lubricating coating on a metal substrate with which the composition is brought into contact. The lubricant composition comprises an organic polymer and/or a wax dispersion; phosphates, preferably acid phosphate salts, and/or phosphoric acid; and optionally, a surfactant, a thickening aid, an anti-wear additive, a defoaming agent; a corrosion inhibitor; and/or a linear or branched hydrocarbon.
