<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 2852425, member: 17261&quot;]Sometimes yes and sometimes no. There&#039;s are thousands of different metalworking operations using thousands of different types of fluid. In general, most machined metal parts are not cleaned. It&#039;s adds too much production expense. Depending on what&#039;s being made, the fluid contact can range to minimal over a brief time to being flooded with fluid for hours.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many studies have been performed on the long-term stability of metals machined with fluids. In fact, most manufacturers must validate their fluid and their ability to prevent corrosion during storage, sometimes even outdoors. Afterall, most companies making various metal parts are selling those parts and not manufacturing anything with them. If a customer opened a crate and found corroded parts, they would most certainly be returned. We design and sell many fluids that have enhanced long-term protection via specialty corrosion inhibitors and unique chemistry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good chatting with you Richard! It&#039;s great to have another chemist on the forums![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
