Bonnell Aluminum switches from boron nitride to Interforge KI-C and puts an end to surface defects on its extruded profiles.
At a metalworking facility in the United States, boron nitride had long been the go-to solution for pushers and shear blades — but what once seemed like standard practice was quietly becoming a liability. Staining on aluminum profiles, process contamination, excessive lubricant consumption, and the very real danger of applying the product at temperatures reaching 600 °C had turned a routine procedure into a critical issue of quality, cost, and safety. Discover how a targeted intervention transformed the process and delivered measurable results in the full case study.

A Colombian manufacturer replaces three separate lubricants with Interforge KI-C and saves $60,788 USD in its aluminum extrusion process.
En una operación de extrusión de aluminio en Colombia, la lubricación estaba fragmentada entre tres productos y aplicaciones manuales a altas temperaturas: llama de acetileno, nitruro de boro y cera. Esto generaba complejidad operativa, altos costos y riesgos para el personal. La intervención replanteó el enfoque al unificar el lubricante y automatizar su aplicación. El resultado: mayor control, reducción drástica de costos y un entorno de trabajo más seguro. Descubre el caso completo.

A manufacturer in Mexico lubricates the bearings of its hardening furnace with Thermaplex LCM 2 and cuts annual maintenance and parts costs by 70%.
At a manufacturing operation in Mexico, the bearings inside a hardening furnace were failing with alarming regularity. The culprit: a grease that simply couldn't hold up against temperatures of up to 450 °C. As it melted away, components were left unprotected — leading to irreversible damage, unplanned downtime, excessive lubricant use, and contamination throughout the work area. The intervention focused on rethinking lubricant selection from the ground up, matching the product to the real-world demands of the process. Discover how operational stability was restored and costs brought under control in the full case study.

A manufacturer in Mexico switches from boron nitride to Extruoil B7 and eliminates 100% of its operational risk.
At an aluminum extrusion facility in Mexico, boron nitride had become more than an inconvenience — it was a genuine threat. Toxic dust in the air, machinery contamination, health impacts on the workforce, and a slow, costly supply chain had transformed what seemed like a functional solution into an operational and safety hazard. A complete reassessment of the lubrication approach changed everything. Find out how the risk was eliminated and the operation optimized in the full case study.

Why do aluminum profiles appear stained after saw cutting?
Staining on aluminum profiles after cutting is usually caused by the use of lubricants that leave persistent residues or by excessive fluid application during the process. This problem is common when using oils that are not specifically designed for profile cutting. Semi-evaporative lubricants help reduce surface residue and prevent issues in downstream processes such as anodizing, aging, or assembly.
Why is smoke generated during the saw cutting of aluminum bars?
Smoke during the cutting of aluminum bars is generated when the industrial lubricant lacks the thermal stability required for the process temperature, especially in hot cutting operations. Under these conditions, the fluid thermally degrades, producing vapors, carbonaceous residues, and contamination in the cutting area. Using neat cutting oils formulated for high temperatures helps reduce friction, control the edge temperature, and minimize smoke generation during the process.
What causes premature wear of carbide-tipped blades in cutting saws?
Premature wear of carbide-tipped blades in aluminum cutting is associated with excessive friction and deficient heat dissipation at the contact point. This is often the result of incorrect lubrication or improper application of the cutting fluid. A correctly selected industrial lubricant forms a stable lubricating film, reduces metal-to-metal contact, and extends the service life of the cutting blade.
How does the lubricant affect the cut finish and burr formation?
Industrial lubricants directly influence the aluminum cut finish by controlling friction, temperature, and the stability of the saw’s cutting edge. Inadequate lubrication can cause vibrations, material dragging, and excessive burr formation. In contrast, a correctly selected fluid improves cutting stability and results in cleaner, more uniform, and repeatable surfaces.
What problems are caused by the improper application of cutting fluid in saws?
Improper application of cutting fluid in aluminum processes can lead to lubricant excess, work area contamination, increased smoke generation, and product waste. It can also affect cutting stability and process efficiency. Application should be metered and directed specifically to the contact point between the saw blade and the material, avoiding over-application.
How to choose the correct fluid for hot or cold aluminum cutting?
The selection of the aluminum cutting fluid depends on the process temperature, material type, and downstream cleaning requirements. In hot cutting, neat cutting oils with high thermal stability are recommended to control friction and prevent degradation. In cold cutting, soluble fluids improve heat dissipation, provide anti-corrosive protection, and maintain process cleanliness. A proper selection of industrial lubricant improves cut quality, tool life, and operational efficiency.
