Abstract: This invention relates to novel water soluble metal working fluid compositions, their use to work metal, a process for working metal using such compositions and the metal worked article of manufacture. More particularly, this invention relates to fluid compositions useful in cutting, grinding, shaping and other metal working operations which require a lubricant. The terms “first Group A” and “second Group B” are used herein to denote different groups and not to indicate any sequence of use or selection as any possible combination or sequence of use of a component(s) is envisioned without limit of any kind. The disclosed fluid compositions are also anticorrosive and environmentally more acceptable than current oil based fluids.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for regenerating reaction lubricant residues containing acid organic lubricants refused and processed during cold forming and multivalent metal ions and phosphate ions, wherein said reaction lubricant residues undergo the following procedural steps: a) precipitating metal ions from the metal organic compounds by adding phosphoric acid and/or acid phosphoric acid esters; b) dissolving water-soluble impurities by adding water; c) separating the solids from the lubricant components and from the aqueous phases that are incompatible with the oily lubricant components, and whereby d) acid phosphoric acid esters for adjusting the free acid at a value of less than 10 points and for adjusting a total acidity point value of less than 70 is adjusted at a free acid. total acidity ratio having a value in the range of 0.15 to 0.5. The separation indicated in step c) preferably occurs by means of a centrifuge at 2,000 to 3,000 g, especially at 8,000 to 15,000 g.

Abstract: A composition for use in lubricants and function fluids to provide improved anti-shudder and shudder durability properties to an automatic transmission. The composition comprises alkoxylated fatty amines as well as a mixture of other friction modifiers.
