"Metalworking Fluids - The Need for Performance and Lifetime Standards"

Rick Butler

Thursday, January 17th, 2019

Abstract:

Clear, concise and well written metalworking fluid lifetime standards are needed. Current efforts by the UK Lubricants Association and ILMA are complicated, cumbersome and incomplete. Machine shops struggle with identifying hopelessly spent coolants. Budgeting time and money for proper replacement of both straight oils and water based MWF are not generally practiced. Confusion, corrosion and unnecessary exposure to heavy metals are the result. Case studies are discussed. Compact and clear MWF lifetime standards are proposed.

Biography:

Rick Butler graduated from Michigan State University with a B.S. in Chemistry. He has spent most of his career developing metal working fluids. He is the R&D Manager of Metalworking Fluids for DuBois Chemicals in Bedford Park, IL. Rick joined DuBois after holding the R&D Manager role at Chemtool, Inc. for 14 years, analytical chemist at Fuchs for 13 years and Group Leader of Coolant Development at DA Stuart for 4 years.

Rick has played an active role in STLE for most of his professional career including the Metalworking National Section Chair and Condition Monitoring National Chair. He is Immediate Past Chair of the Chicago Section, Vice Chairman of the National Education Metalworking Committee. He holds an STLE certification as a metal working specialist.
